COVID REMINDERS
1. Classes are not permitted to mix – meaning:
- no lunch activities in the gym, the library will function like it did previously with physical distancing; the volleyball tournament is postponed; mixed gym classes will need to remain on a designated side of the gym; Best Buddies activities are postponed and the Cardboard Challenge is postponed.
2. Restricted access to cafeteria:
- our cafeteria is closed effective today and lunch will go back to 30-minute indoor lunch breaks in the hallway and 30-minutes outdoors – so the grade 7’s will go outside the first part of lunch (take your lunch with you) grade 8 & 9’s will eat in their designated hallway (from the gym to guidance) with your cohort then we will do the switch at 12 noon. At 12 noon, grade 8 and 9’s will go outside and the grade 7’s will come in and eat in their designated hallway with their cohort. If you did not bring food with you today, please let us know in the office!
3. Masking and physical distancing
- Masks are to be worn (properly) at all times, with a very few exceptions: when eating or drinking and when outdoors.
