With vaccinations now available to children aged five to 11 and reports of the new Omicron variant of concern, we wanted to update families with current information.
随着现在可供5至11岁儿童接种疫苗，以及新的Omicron变异毒株引起担忧的报道，我们希望向家庭提供最新的信息。
亲爱的家长/监护人:
距离我们上次向家庭提供关于COVID-19的更新已经有一段时间了。鉴于现在有针对5至11岁儿童的疫苗可供接种，以及新型变异株奥密克戎引发的关注，我们希望向家庭提供最新信息。
上个月，CBE实施了要求所有CBE员工、志愿者、承包商、访客、观众和校内合作伙伴接种疫苗的政策。在 行政规定1016—COVID-19疫苗接种中了解更多信息。
CBE将其免疫政策扩展到所有志愿者，平衡了我们对学生、员工和社区安全的承诺与家长参与子女教育和学校社区的价值。因此，自2021年12月17日起，所有志愿者必须完成全程免疫接种才能在CBE建筑内进行志愿服务或参加实地考察。不能用医学豁免或快速抗原测试代替充分免疫的证明。
参加CBE课外活动（例如体育比赛、表演和集会）的成年访客也需要提供充分免疫的证明。不接受快速抗原测试，但CBE将根据《阿尔伯塔人权法》承认COVID-19疫苗的合法豁免。
关于如何向学校提供疫苗接种证明的更多信息将在未来几周提供。
接送孩子或参加面对面会议（如家长会议）时，家长和监护人不必完成全程免疫接种。但是，教师和其他CBE员工可能选择安排虚拟或电话会议作为替代方案。
我们都在确保学校尽可能安全，并最大限度地减少COVID-19传播方面扮演着重要角色。虽然学生不需要完成疫苗接种就能上学，但我们仍强烈鼓励所有符合条件的学生接种疫苗。针对5至11岁儿童的疫苗最近获得批准，阿尔伯塔省首席医疗官Deena Hinshaw博士在 英文 和 法文 信中向家庭提供了更多信息。如果您有这个年龄段的孩子，建议您寻找可靠和确凿的信息，以便为您的家庭做出疫苗决策。五岁以上的人可以通过 阿尔伯塔疫苗预约系统 预约，也可以拨打健康热线811。目前学校不提供疫苗接种点。
在冬假到来之前的几个星期里，以及COVID-19奥密克戎变异株的到来，我鼓励所有学生和员工保持警惕，并继续遵守学校和社区实施的所有健康措施。
家庭应在将孩子送往学校之前每天完成 每日健康问卷，如果孩子生病，请让他们留在家中。
学校和工作场所仍要求所有学生、员工和访客佩戴口罩。有关更多信息，请参阅我们的 口罩指南。
如果您计划在假期期间进行国际旅行，请确保已经查阅省级和联邦规定，包括您和孩子一月份返校的要求。此指南可能随时变更。

感谢您持续的合作和支持。

Dear Parents/Guardians:
It has been a while since we provided an update to families about COVID-19. With vaccinations now available to children aged five to 11 and reports of the new Omicron variant of concern, we wanted to update families with current information.
Last month, the CBE implemented its policy to mandate vaccination for all CBE staff, volunteers, contractors, guests, spectators and onsite partners. Learn more in Administrative Regulation 1016 – COVID-19 Vaccinations.
CBE’s decision to extend its immunization policy to all volunteers balances our commitment to student, staff, and community safety with the value of parent involvement in their child's education and in their school communities.
This means effective Dec. 17, 2021, all volunteers must be fully immunized to volunteer in a CBE building or to participate in field trips. Medical exemptions or rapid antigen tests will not be accepted in place of proof of full immunization.
Adult guests attending CBE extra-curricular events, such as sports, performances and assemblies, are also required to provide proof they are fully immunized. Rapid antigen tests will not be accepted, but the CBE will recognize a valid medical exemption from COVID-19 vaccines, in keeping with the Alberta Human Rights Act.
More information about how to provide proof of vaccination to your school will be provided in the coming weeks.
Parents and guardians are not required to be fully immunized when picking up or dropping off their children or attending in-person meetings such as parent-teacher conferences. However, teachers and other CBE employees may choose to schedule virtual or telephone meetings as an alternative to in-person meetings.
We all play a role in ensuring our schools are as safe as possible and that we minimize the spread of COVID-19. While vaccines are not required for students to attend school, we continue to strongly encourage vaccination for all eligible students. With vaccinations recently approved for children aged 5 to 11, Dr. Deena Hinshaw, Alberta’s Chief Medical Officer of Health has provided more information to families in a letter in English and French. If you have a child in this age group, you are encouraged to seek out reliable and factual information to inform your decisions on vaccines for your family. Appointments for anyone over the age of five can be booked through the Alberta Vaccine Booking system, or by calling Health Link at 811. Vaccine clinics will not be available through schools at this time.
With only a few weeks left before winter break, and the arrival of the COVID Omicron variant of concern, I encourage all students and staff to remain vigilant and continue to follow all health measures in place in schools and communities.
Families should continue to complete the Daily Health Questionnaire every day before sending your child to school and keep them home from school if they are sick.
Masking continues to be required by all students, staff and visitors in our schools and workplaces. More information can be found on in our masking guidelines.
If you are planning an international trip over the holidays, please ensure you have reviewed provincial and federal requirements for your return and your child’s return to school in January. This guidance is subject to change at any time.

Thank you for your ongoing cooperation and support.
