Good afternoon Fort McMurray Catholic Schools families,
As we are sure many of you are already aware, the Government of Alberta issued a communication earlier this week regarding the lifting of the remaining COVID-19 restrictions in our province.
We wish to highlight a couple of changes due to this announcement:
- The mandatory isolation period if a person tests positive for COVID-19 has now been rescinded. Please take note of the line “isolation will remain recommended for those with symptoms or a positive COVID-19 test”.
- The provincial government is archiving their COVID-19 documentation and guidelines which Alberta School Divisions were directed to follow during the pandemic, thus ending their COVID-19 protocols. This includes the Alberta Health Daily Checklist we have all utilized every morning for 2 years now.
Fort McMurray Catholic Schools will continue to strongly recommend staying at home when sick, and staying at home following a positive test. With only a couple of weeks remaining we want to ensure as safe of a finish to the year as possible.
Thank you,
Fort McMurray Catholic Schools
