​​​​​​​​​亲爱的家长们，

10月14日，阿尔伯塔省政府更新了有关学校如何通知学校社区有COVID-19阳性病例的指导意见。AHS也更新了其< a href = "https://open.alberta.ca/publications/parents-guide-2021-22-school-year" target = "_blank"> 家长指南 ，提供有关更新流程的明确信息。

CBE已根据这项新指导更新了其流程。

在您的学校社区通知阳性COVID-19病例

10月18日（星期一），所有CBE学校将过渡到一种新的方式来通知家庭，即他们的孩子可能已接触到COVID-19。迄今为止，我们一直通过家庭自报告的案例通知学校社区。将来，我们将依赖于阿尔伯塔卫生服务（AHS）通知在学校感染的确认COVID-19病例。

因此，学校将不再记录家庭或员工向学校报告的阳性病例。 我们要求您继续致电学校，如果您的孩子因任何原因缺席。

如果AHS通知CBE，您的孩子在学校接触到一个传染病例，您将收到学校的电子邮件通知您可能接触到的情况。

我们系统中的所有阳性病例通知也将在CBE网站上报告。

过渡到在线学习

K-6班级

当在五天的日历周期里报告有三个或更多个阳性病例在学校待感染的同一K-6班级里时，受到影响的班级将转入在线学习10天。

如果您的孩子的班级在这种情况下，您将收到学校的信件通知您将转入在线学习，并收到AHS的进一步说明信。

7-12年级班级

目前不预期由于学校人员内出现阳性病例而导致的7-12年级的在线学习过渡。

疫情通知

AHS将确定学校是否达到暴发状态（14天内在学校期间感染的确认病例达到10个或更多个）。如果报告了暴发情况，学校将分享AHS的来信，通过SchoolMessenger发送。

已向社区通报爆发状态的学校列表将在CBE网站上分享，或者您可以参考政府的学校状态网站。

在家快速检测

从10月下旬开始，政府将实施一个针对K-6班级人员的有针对性的在家快速检测计划，该计划符合特定时间窗内的特定病例阈值。

如果您的学校或孩子的班级符合此计划的条件，学校将直接与您分享相关信息。

在家快速检测是自愿的，一旦有更多信息将与您分享。

在将您的孩子送到学校前，请继续每天完成每日健康问卷调查，如果他们生病请让他们在家。如果符合条件，我们强烈建议您接种COVID-19疫苗。

有关CBE的COVID-19指南和健康措施的更多信息可在我们的网站上获得。

感谢您在我们学校中对健康和安全的持续承诺，

​​​​​​​​​Dear families,

On Oct. 14, the Alberta government updated its guidance for schools regarding how school communities will be notified of positive COVID-19 cases. AHS has also​ updated its parent guide, which provides clear information about the updated process.

The CBE has updated its process to align with this new guidance.

Notification of a Positive COVID-19 Case in Your School Community

On Monday, Oct. 18, all CBE schools will transition to a new way of notifying families that their child may have been exposed to COVID-19. To date, we have been notifying school communities about cases that have been self-reported by families. Going forward, we will rely on Alberta Health Services (AHS) notification of confirmed COVID-19 cases that were infectious while at school.

As such, schools will no longer record positive cases that families or staff report to the school. We do ask that you continue to call the school if your child is going to be absent for any reason.

If AHS informs the CBE that your child was exposed to an infectious case at school, you will receive an email from your school notifying you of possible exposure.

All positive case notifications across our system will also be reported on the CBE website.

Transitioning to Online Learning

K-6 Classes

When three or more positive cases are reported to have attended school while infectious within the same K-6 class in a five-day calendar period, the impacted class will be moved to online learning for 10 calendar days.

If your child’s class is in this situation, you will receive a letter from the school notifying you of the transition to online learning, as well as a letter from AHS with further instructions.

Grades 7 – 12 Classes

Transitions to online learning due to positive cases within the school population are not expected for Grades 7 - 12 at this time.

Outbreak Notifications

AHS will determine if a school reaches outbreak status (10 or more confirmed cases within a 14 day period that were infectious while at school). If an outbreak is reported, the school will share a letter from AHS that will be sent through SchoolMessenger.

A list of schools that have notified their communities of outbreak status will be shared on the CBE website, or you can refer to the government’s school status site.

At-Home Rapid Testing

Starting in late October, the government is implementing a targeted at-home rapid testing program for staff and students in K-6 classes that meet a specific threshold of cases within a specific time window.

If your school or child’s class is eligible for this program, your school will share information with you directly.

At-home rapid testing is voluntary and more information will be shared once it is available.

Please 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. If you are eligible, we strongly encourage you to get vaccinated against COVID-19.

More information is available on our website about the CBE’s COVID-19 Guidelines and Health Measures.

Thank you for your continued commitment to health and safety in our schools,

Christopher Usih
Chief Superintendent of Schools
