Travel Outside Canada and Vaccination Campaign

Good Morning Eardley Community,

I hope this email finds you safe and well. I have an important update for you this morning, please see below.

• Travelling Outside Canada – A Reminder
  • With the Holiday Season approaching, please find attached a communication from our Secretary General, George Singfield detailing the protocol to follow if your family is travelling out of the country.
  • Unvaccinated and partially vaccinated youth 12 to 17 years of age are subject to the 14-day quarantine, and all testing requirements for pre-entry, arrival and Day-8 tests, whether or not they are accompanied by travellers who qualify as a fully vaccinated traveller.
  • Unvaccinated and partially vaccinated youth under 12 years of age are subject to the 14-day quarantine, and all testing requirements for pre-entry, arrival and Day-8 tests, whether or not they are accompanied by travellers who qualify as a fully vaccinated traveller.
• Vaccinations

A Reminder…

• If you wish to have your child vaccinated, there are TWO options:
  • Vaccinate your child OUTSIDE of school at one of the vaccination centres.
    • If this option suits you MUST register @ the following link – https://clients3.clicsante.ca/60059/take-appt.
  • Vaccinate your child INSIDE of school during the school’s vaccination campaign.
    • Eardley’s vaccination site will be at South Hull Elementary.
    • The vaccination date set for Eardley is December 17^th, 2021.
    • If you choose this option, parents/guardians will NOT be permitted to accompany their child(ren) at the vaccination site.
    • Staff will accompany the registered students to the vaccination cite via organized school transportation.
    • If this option suits you MUST register @ the following link – https://clients3.clicsante.ca/67026/take-appt
    • If you choose to have your child vaccinated at school, you must complete and sign the electronic consent form via Clic Santé at least 24 hours before the day of the school vaccination. It is also possible for you to complete a paper consent (attached to this email) in the event that you do not have access to the internet.
    • If you are completing a paper consent, please contact Stephanie Lelievre @ SLelievre@wqsb.qc.ca , as she will be collecting ALL paper consent for the vaccination campaign.
    • No student will be vaccinated without consent.

Due to a high number of inquiries and for clarification purposes, a Covid-19 vaccine for our student population is not mandatory for school attendance at this time. Currently, you do not need to provide proof of student vaccination.

For more information on the vaccination campaign for children age 5 to 11, go to Québec.ca/vaccinjeune. If you are having challenges booking a vaccine, please contact the hotline at 1-877-644-4545 (toll free).

• Holiday Spirit Campaign
  • A reminder that our Holiday Spirit Campaign is well underway!
  • Please find attached the communication detailing all of the events to help out our community.

As always, I remain available should you have any questions or concerns.

Please enjoy the day ahead and stay warm,

Samantha Halpin

Directrice/Principal
