Health Zone 3 Moving Back to Orange Alert Level

January 26, 2021

Hello Anglophone West School District Families,

As of midnight tonight, January 26, 2021 Health Zone 3 (Fredericton Region) will move back to the Orange Alert Level. This will affect 62 of our 69 schools, with two from Health Zone 4 and five from Health Zone 3 (that border Health Zone 4), remaining in a state of remote learning at this time.

The Orange Alert level means staff and students will still be required to follow specific safety measures, particularly around mask-wearing. Also, extra-curricular music activities, such as choir and band are not permitted in this phase and sports activities are limited to practices within a single team. Please review the details of these directives by clicking on this link:

A comparison chart outlining community directives for each of the different levels can be found on the New Brunswick Government website here:

I would like to assure you that we continue to work closely with Public Health and the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (EECD) to do our best in ensuring your safety, health, and well-being.

Thank you for your continued commitment to reducing the risk of transmitting the virus and for keeping yourself and those around you safe.

Sincerely,

David McTimoney, Superintendent
