Dear QAS Families and Staff,
Re: Phased restart of school based on recent Public Health Officer (PHO) announcement
Thank you for your continued patience as our schools review the information we received on December 29, 2021, from the Provincial Health Officer (PHO) and the Ministry of Education (MOE) regarding the return to school next week.
In accordance with the revised order from the PHO, schools will be open to all students on Monday, January 10th.
Schools will open on Tuesday January 4th, 2022 for all staff members, children of teachers and other school staff, and children of health care workers. Schools will also be open to students with exceptional needs. Please contact me by Monday, January 3rd @ 3:00 p.m., if these categories apply to your child and you intend to have your child attend school next week. My email is: [email protected]
This additional time afforded to schools next week is required to enhance their current COVID safety measures for a return to safe in-person learning. Also, it provides the opportunity for public health to learn more about the Omicron variant, ensuring the right measures are in place to keep everyone safe.
We will keep you informed as more information becomes available.
Sincerely,
Joan Sandberg
Principal
