Room 5 and 6 families,
If you have not already seen the email sent out to all families, this is to make you aware that Parent-Teacher Conferences scheduled for next Thursday, March 18 have been postponed. This is in response to the changing climate of COVID-19 in Alberta. I have attached the letter to this post. The Calgary Board of Education has a frequently asked questions link, and it can be accessed via the emailed letter. Please refer to that for more information on how the CBE is handling COVID-19.
Students in rooms 5 & 6 have spent considerable time discussing COVID-19 in a group as part of our current events discussions. As grade 3 and 4 students they have a good grasp of the issue, and a mature outlook on it's scope. They understand that at this stage the best thing they can do is remain calm, keep informed through multiple media outlets and government media releases, maintain good hygiene (wash hands with soap and water frequently, avoid touching their face, avoid touching other people, cough into their elbow, change and wash clothes daily), stay home if they feel sick and let their parents know if they are feeling unwell. Importantly, they understand that the risk in Alberta is low.
If you have concerns, please refer to the Government of Alberta link below. It provides detailed information on the current status of COVID-19 in Alberta, and the government's response to the changing situation.
