Good Morning Eardley Community,
I hope this update finds you and your families well.
- WQSB Letter to the Community
- Please find attached a letter from our Director General, Mike Dubeau and Assistant Director General, Ruth Ahern detailing the start-up of the school year and the guidelines/protocols for COVID-19. Additionally, it details the confirmed positive cases that have been identified at our WQSB schools thus far.
- Ministry Documents – Plan Rentree 2020 & Info COVID 19 Q&R
- Please find attached the re-entry plan from the Ministry of Education
- Q&R is specifically related to COVID-19 and is currently only available in French. Once an English version becomes available, I will send along to our community.
- Picture Day
- As it stands right now, we have postponed our picture day for the Fall. Given the increase in cases and the Outaouais region being designated an orange zone, we have made the executive decision not to have picture day in October. We will revisit this in the Spring.
- Vaccinations
- Please see the attached letter from CISSSO regarding school vaccinations and a delay in course.
- Please note that there will be NO vaccinations given to our Cycle 3.1 (grade 5) students and this has been postponed to Secondary 3.
- Additionally, our regularly scheduled Cycle 2.2 (grade 4) vaccinations have been postponed and a new date is TBD.
- Technology Survey
- If you have not already done so and require access to technology at home in the event of a class or school closure, please complete the technology survey.
- This 11-question survey is to be completed by parents and guardians across the Western Quebec School Board to indicate the technology families have access to at home. A survey was conducted in the spring of 2020. This supplementary form will provide a more detailed and up-to-date picture of technology situations in September 2020. Further guidelines have been released from the Ministry of Education regarding requirements for online learning in case of school/class closures. The form will need to be completed separately for each child enrolled in the WQSB.
- Please see the attached memo for parent/guardian support when accessing Office 365 with your child.
