Requirement for Masks in School – Effective Friday, November 27, 2020

All Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 12 Students, Staff and Visitors MUST wear a mask at all times, except while eating or drinking.

 

ATTENTION ALL VISITORS AND PARENTS

We are finding that many visitors (including parents) are ignoring protocols that include completing Visitor Contact Forms and sanitizing hands when visiting the school. All visitors are required to complete a form (on paper or online), sanitize hands and wear a mask when visiting the school for any reason and for any amount of time. The form can be found by scanning the QR Code found on the door at the main entrance.  (See below for the image of the sign found on the front door). Thank you for your cooperation.
