Families are encouraged to provide cloth masks for their children that cover the nose and mouth. The SCDSB will provide masks to students who do not have them. </span></span></span></p><p style="margin:12pt 0in;"><strong><span style="color:black;"><span style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">MASKS OUTSIDE</span></span></span></strong><br><span style="color:black;"><span style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Another change to the protocol from the fall is that starting Monday, all students will have to wear masks at all time while they are on school property. This includes DPA, outdoor learning times and recesses. This new requirement aligns with the advice of the SMDHU and adds another layer of protection to the existing preventative measures already in place at SCDSB schools to enhance safety protocols where physical distancing cannot be maintained.</span></span></span></p><p style="margin:12pt 0in;"><strong><span style="color:black;"><span style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">TECHNOLOGY</span></span></span></strong><br><span style="color:black;"><span style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">In order to support learning here at school, we are asking that any students who borrowed technology from the school bring it back on Monday and Tuesday of next week.</span></span></span></p><p style="margin:12pt 0in;"><span style="color:black;"><span style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Students are asked to bring the technology with them to class and teachers will (in conjunction with the office) ensure the appropriate cleaning protocols are taken so the technology can be re-distributed back to classes and cohorts.</span></span></span></p><p style="margin:12pt 0in;"><strong><span style="color:black;"><span style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">SELF-ASSESSEMENT</span></span></span></strong><br><span style="color:black;"><span style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">It continues to be the expectation that every student attending school in person will complete the Covid Self-Assessment tool before arriving at school.
