APPRECIATION DAYS

On April 27th, we will be celebrating our secretaries.  Mrs. Brady, Mrs. Gibb and Mrs. Lopez! They all do such an amazing job for us in the office.  We would be lost without them! Thank you so much.

MORNINGS 

This is a reminder that our morning supervision does not start until 8:15.  Students should not be arriving before this time. When students are waiting outdoors,  they are not to play on equipment, but wait in their lines for the bell.  

BEING SICK AT SCHOOL

We are seeing more and more students coming to school sick.  Please keep your child at home if they are sick and continue to follow AHS protocol with COVID symptoms.  We are still seeing COVID cases with our students at school and have test kits available.  Here is the  Daily Assessment still in effect for students with symptoms- https://myhealth.alberta.ca/Journey/COVID-19/Pages/COVID-Self-Assessment.aspx 

Students who test positive or have COVID symptoms should be isolating for the required amount of time.  From AHS website:

Isolation helps prevent the spread by reducing the number of people you could infect by staying home and avoiding others. If you test positive or have symptoms not related to a pre-existing condition, you are legally required to isolate as outlined below:

• Fully vaccinated (2 doses or 1 dose Janssen): Starting the first day of symptoms or positive test, isolate for a minimum of 5 days or until symptoms resolve, whichever is longer. Following isolation, wear a mask at all times when around others outside of home for up to 5 more days (10 total). This means you must eat or drink alone, away from others.
• Not fully vaccinated (1 dose or less): Starting the first day of symptoms or positive test, isolate for 10 days or until symptoms resolve, whichever is longer.
• If you test negative and have symptoms, you should still stay home and away from others until symptoms resolve.

KINDERGARTEN OPEN HOUSE

We will be hosting two Kinder open houses this year.  The first being a virtual open house and another in June, in person.
