IMPORTANT NOTICE
Grades 6,7, and 9 Students Move to Online Learning June 7-18, 2021
June 5, 2021
Dear Parents/Guardians,
We have been notified of two positive cases of COVID-19 on June 5th and one positive case on June 1st that have been diagnosed in individuals at Tom Baines School.
Many associated staff members have been identified as a close contact of this case and will be required to isolate themselves at home for up to 14 days. These confirmed COVID-19 cases have impacted the classrooms at Tom Baines School.
Due to operational capacity concerns, the decision has been made to move ALL grade 6, 7 & 9 students to online classes from Monday June 7 until Friday June 18 2021 This will help to ensure we are able to provide focused instructional support for all students and allow for consistent instruction in all courses. Grade 8 students will remain attending school in person.
In-person classes for grades 6, 7 & 9 are scheduled to resume for in-person students on Monday June 21st, 2021.
Instructional Plans - Continuity of Learning for Students
For students who need access to technology, please contact Mrs. Bartlett by email on Monday June 7. jlbartlett@cbe.ab.ca We do have access to a few chrome books and iPads to loan students to support their learning during this time. Classroom Teachers will be ready to be online Monday June 7 and they will have their Google codes listed on their school blogs. We will follow the regular day schedule starting with Day “C” and students will follow their regular schedule. All students will be supported in maintaining course work during the designated period through Google Classroom and Google Meet. Students will not join Hub online learning.
All students are expected to continue to engage in learning in all their learning during this time. Some teachers may record lessons or offer additional tutorial times. No exams will be required to be completed online during this time and all assessments will be conducted when students return to school.
The school has undergone additional cleaning over the weekend. COVID-19 precautions remain in place.
The school has completed the process of contacting each family affected by the positive cases, and AHS will be following up only with those individuals. If your child has any of the symptoms of illness listed on the Alberta Health daily checklist, please complete the online Alberta Health Services COVID-19 self-assessment or call Health Link at 811.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we take these additional measures to continue to support student learning.
Sincerely,
