教育部长阿德里安娜·拉格朗日于2022年1月5日确认，所有学生将于2022年1月10日星期一回归面对面的学习。
亲爱的家长/监护人
教育部长Adriana LaGrange在2022年1月5日确认，所有学生将于2022年1月10日（星期一）返回学校进行面对面学习。我们期待学生们回到课堂，并努力保持学校和工作场所的安全。在家长准备返校之际，我们希望提供一些关于卫生措施的重要信息，以及您可以做些什么来帮助的内容。
政府将为学生和学校工作人员提供医疗级口罩和快速检测工具。在初始阶段，学生将每周两次在家进行测试，为期2.5周。有关测试及其结果处理的更多信息已发布在阿尔伯塔省政府的网站上，包括一段关于如何使用测试工具的视频，以及翻译成多种语言的资料表。
我们预计这些物资将在下周末前送达。这些物品一旦可用，您的孩子所在的学校将会通知发放的相关事宜。
现在，比以往任何时候都更重要的是，任何感觉不适的人必须待在家中。学生和工作人员必须使用每日检查清单判断是否应该上学或留在家中。
COVID-19阳性病例通知流程已经改变。阿尔伯塔卫生服务部将不再协助学校通知密切接触者或学校社区有阳性病例的情况。您无需向孩子所在的学校报告快速检测结果。请继续告知学校，如果您的孩子因为任何原因将不会上学。学校将继续监测因疾病而导致的学生缺席情况。
尽管我们优先保持面对面学习，但各所学校正在计划根据需要将学习转为居家学习。
根据员工情况和/或学生缺勤率，决定将哪些班级或年级转为居家学习。整个学校或学校管理机构改为居家学习的决定需要教育部长的批准或指示。由CBE管理层来决定某所学校内的个别班级或多个班级是否转为居家学习。
我们知道COVID-19的传播将继续影响组织的人员配备水平。尽管我们增加了代课教师名单并不断招聘新的代课教师，但我们预计仍可能面临人员配备方面的挑战。
如果您孩子所在的班级或学校将转为在线学习，您将直接从学校获得相关信息。尽管我们尽可能提前通知家长，但这些转变可能突然发生并带来较短的通知时间。家长应频繁检查电子邮件和/或学校网站以获取更新信息。
黄色校车服务可能也会受到临时人员配备方面的挑战而受到影响。由于司机不可用，校车可能会延迟或当天无法运行。如果您孩子所乘坐的校车延迟，请查看CBE交通网站获取更多信息。家长还应制定备用计划，以防学校校车交通不可用。
在整个疫情期间，CBE一直遵循或超过政府推荐的卫生措施。这些卫生措施包括：
确保学校良好的通风和空气流通是我们为支持学生和员工健康而采取的卫生措施之一。
在过去的两年里，阿尔伯塔省劳工、职业健康与安全部门以及阿尔伯塔卫生服务机构检查了CBE学校，并确定已采取的卫生措施完全符合现有政府的建议。CBE正在研究其他通风选项，并考虑其对学校建筑系统和可用资源的影响。在获得进一步信息时，我们将继续向您发布更新。
最后，我代表董事会向您分享以下信息：
学生和员工的安全、身体和心理健康继续是我们的首要任务。我们理解学生、家庭和员工所面临的压力和不确定性。
对于我们的员工在这场疫情中不懈地为所有学生提供高质量教育体验的承诺，我们表示衷心的感谢。保持学校和工作场所的安全和健康将非常重要。感谢您长久以来的耐心、支持和理解。
我们将继续与阿尔伯塔教育厅和卡尔加里及埃德蒙顿的其他学校委员会合作，就现有卫生措施进行讨论，并考虑随着情况的发展是否需要进行任何改变。阿尔伯塔教育厅和阿尔伯塔卫生厅正更新指导方针，我们将在获得信息时与您共享。
此致,
Christopher Usih
首席教育主管
Dear Parents/Guardians
On Jan. 5, Education Minister Adriana LaGrange confirmed that all students will return to in-person learning on Monday, Jan. 10, 2022. We look forward to welcoming students back to classes and are working hard to keep schools and workplaces as safe as possible. As families prepare to go back to school, we want to provide some important information about health measures that will be in place in CBE schools, and what you can do to help.
The government will be providing medical-grade masks and rapid test kits for students and school-based staff. In the initial phase, students will receive kits to test at home twice per week for 2.5 weeks. More information about the tests and what to do with the results are posted on the Alberta Government website, including a video about how to use the test and a fact sheet translated into multiple languages.
We expect that these supplies will arrive by the end of next week. Information about distribution will come from your child’s school once these items are available.
Now, more than ever, it is important that anyone feeling unwell must stay at home. Students and staff must use the daily checklist to identify if they should attend or stay home.
The COVID-19 positive case notification process has changed. Alberta Health Services will no longer support schools to inform close contacts or the school community of positive cases. You are not required to report rapid test results to your child’s school.
Please continue to inform your school if your child will be staying home from school for any reason. Schools will continue to monitor school absenteeism due to illness.
While maintaining in-person learning is a priority, schools are planning for potential transitions to at-home learning if required.
The decision to transition individual classes or grades to at-home learning will be based on staff availability and/or student absentee rates. All moves to at-home learning for entire schools or school authorities require approval or direction from the Minister of Education. Decisions to move individual classes or multiple classes within a school will be decided by CBE Administration.
We know the spread of COVID-19 has and will continue to impact staffing levels across the organization. Despite increasing our substitute teacher roster and continuously hiring new substitutes, we anticipate staffing challenges will occur.
If your child’s class or school is going to be transitioned to online learning, you will receive information from the school directly. While we will attempt to give as much notice to families as possible, these transitions can happen suddenly and with short notice. Families should frequently check their email and/or their school website for updates.
Yellow school bus service may also be impacted by last-minute staffing challenges due to illness. Buses may be delayed or unable to run for the day due to driver availability. If your child’s bus is delayed, please check the CBE transportation website for more information. Families should also have back-up plans in place if school bus transportation is unavailable.
Throughout the pandemic, the CBE has met or exceeded health measures recommended by government. These health measures include:
Ensuring proper ventilation and airflow in our schools is one of the health measures we have in place to support student and staff wellness.
Over the past two years, Alberta Labour, Occupational Health & Safety and Alberta Health Services have inspected CBE schools and determined that health measures in place are fully compliant with existing government recommendations. The CBE is exploring other ventilation options that consider the impact on school building systems and available resources. We will continue to keep you informed as information becomes available.
Finally, I want to share this message on behalf of the Board of Trustees:
The safety, physical and mental health of our students and staff continues to be our priority. We acknowledge the stress and uncertainty that students, families and staff are facing.
We are so grateful for the tireless commitment of our staff to continuing to deliver a quality education experience to all students throughout this pandemic. It will be important that we work together to keep schools and workplaces as safe and healthy as possible. Thank you for your ongoing patience, support and understanding.
We are continuing to work with Alberta Education and other school boards in Calgary and Edmonton regarding existing health measures and to consider any necessary changes as the situation evolves. Alberta Education and Alberta Health are updating guidelines and we will share information when it is available.
Sincerely,
Christopher Usih
Chief Superintendent of Schools
