Dear Parents and Guardians:
Re: COVID-19 POSSIBLE EXPOSURE - NEW
MARYLAND ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
This is to inform you that
there is a possible COVID-19 exposure in our school. We are working with Public
Health officials to identify the individuals who may come into contact with the
virus.
We understand you may feel
anxious over the coming days. Public
Health officials will contact you if your child has been in close contact with
the virus. Unless Public Health officials contact you, your child can continue
to attend school.
It is natural to want to know
if your child may have been exposed to the virus. Public Health officials will
inform those who are at risk of the next steps, but to protect the privacy of
students and school personnel, other details including names, will not be
released.
Because
of the presence of the variant in our region, Public Health is asking that the
entire school community monitor for symptoms. If your child is showing one or
more symptoms, please have them isolated and get registered for a test by:
- Registering
online for a test by clicking “Get tested” on the GNB coronavirus website Coronavirus
Exposure (gnb.ca), or
- Contacting
Tele-Care 811.
Thank you for helping keep our
school, community, and province safe.
Sincerely,
David McTimoney,
Superintendent
