亲爱的CBE家庭

我们致力于向您通报我们在这个流行病期间所做的变化，共同努力保持学校和工作场所的健康。我们发现我们的社区和学校内的COVID-19确诊病例在增加。保护我们的学生和员工的安全和幸福仍然是我们的首要任务。

修订后的阳性病例通知

自今日起，我们正在改变关于阳性病例的通知方式。如果我们收到一个家庭或教职员工通知您孩子的班级中有一个人确诊阳性的消息，您将收到一封学校的电子邮件，要求您的孩子在我们从AHS获得进一步信息之前进行隔离。AHS仍将调查学校内的所有阳性病例，只有在AHS确认安全后，您的孩子才能返回学校。

如果我们发现确诊阳性的个人在传染期内没有上学，我们将再次通过电子邮件与您联系，并告知您的孩子可以返回学校。除非他们出现与COVID-19一致的症状，否则您的其他孩子无需隔离。

我们知道这可能会导致更长的隔离期，但我们希望这个改变能够缩短我们得知阳性病例并向受影响的家庭发出隔离指南之间的时间。我们希望这个改变也能够帮助限制COVID-19在我们社区的传播，进一步保护我们的学生和员工。

隔离要求

我们理解，由于不可预知的疾病或潜在COVID-19暴露，家庭在临时改变日程安排上可能遇到困难和挑战，然而，我们必须遵守所有省级的隔离要求，以最大限度地减少病毒的传播。任何被AHS指示隔离的人在他们的隔离期间不能返回学校或工作场所。另外，如果您进行了COVID-19测试，即使您感觉好转，也不能在获得结果之前返回学校。

您可以在https://www.alberta.ca/isolation.aspx上找到有关隔离要求的更多信息。

提醒 | 如果您的孩子将在家里，请致电孩子的学校

学校必须被告知所有缺席情况。如果您的孩子因为任何原因不会上学，请确保您致电学校的缺席热线告知学校。这包括在线学习的Hub学生。这样可以让CBE追踪到我们所有学生的出勤情况，无论他们是在教室里学习还是在家里。

如果您的孩子因在学校内的暴露而被隔离，您无需拨打缺席热线。您的学校将标记您的孩子为隔离状态，直到您确认返回学校的日期。

如果您的孩子因社区暴露而被隔离，请致电学校并提供您预计的返回学校日期。

在这里找到您学校的联系信息。

修订的指导 | 国际旅行试点计划和旅行后的返校​​

11月12日，我们通知参加国际旅行试点计划的员工和家庭，14天的隔离要求将继续有效。经过进一步审查，我们确定参与试点计划的个人在满足试点计划要求后可以返回工作或学校。

试点计划要求，至少在学生进行初步测试并在6或7天后的第二次测试结果为阴性之前，学生不能返回学校。

如果您考虑国际旅行并使用该试点计划，请在政府 of Alberta网站上查看可用的计划详情，因为有各种限制适用。例如，如果您国际旅行并返回加拿大之前去卡尔加里以外的目的地，您将无法参加该计划。例如，如果您去墨西哥旅行，返回航班在多伦多停留，您将无法参加该计划。

试点计划的详细信息和限制请参阅此处。

重要提醒

我们提醒所有进入CBE学校的人必须随时注意COVID-19的任何体征或症状。可以在这里找到阿尔伯塔卫生部的每日检查表。请在上学前每天填写完该检查表。

如果您的孩子有阿尔伯塔卫生部每日检查表上列出的任何疾病症状，请填写在线的阿尔伯塔卫生服务COVID-19自我评估表，或拨打811号健康咨询热线，并让您的孩子待在家里。

非常感谢您的理解和支持，我们将继续努力确保我们的学生和员工的安全与健康。如果您有任何问题，请与您的学校校长交谈。

诚挚致意，

Christopher Usih
学校总监

​Dear CBE Families

We are committed to keeping you informed about changes we are making as we work together to keep schools and workplaces healthy during this pandemic. We are seeing cases of COVID-19 increase in our community, as well as in our schools. The safety and well-being of our students and staff continues to be our number one priority.

Revised Positive Case Notification

Effective today, we are changing how we notify families about positive cases. If we are informed by a family or staff member that an individual has tested positive in your child’s class, you will receive an email from the school requiring your child to isolate until we receive further information from AHS. AHS will still investigate all positive cases in schools, and your child cannot return to school until AHS says it is safe to do so.

Should we find the positive individual did not attend school while contagious, we will contact you again via email and inform you that your child can return to school. Your other children are not required to isolate unless they are displaying symptoms consistent with COVID-19.

We know that this may result in longer quarantine periods, but we expect this change will shorten the time between when we hear of a positive case and when affected families receive isolation instructions. It is our hope that this change will also help to limit the spread of COVID-19 in our community and further protect our students and staff.

Isolation Requirements

We appreciate the difficulties and challenges for families having to make last-minute changes to schedules due to an unexpected illness or potential exposure to COVID-19, however we must obey all provincial quarantine and isolation requirements to minimize the spread of the virus. Anyone who has been directed to isolate by AHS must not return to school or their workplace during their isolation period. It is also important that if you’ve had a COVID-19 test, you must not return to school until you get your results, even if you are feeling better.

You can find more information on isolation and quarantine requirements at https://www.alberta.ca/isolation.aspx

Reminder | Call your Child’s School if your Child will be Staying Home

School offices must be informed of all absences. If your child will be away from for any reason, please ensure you call you school’s absence line to let the school know. This includes students in Hub online learning. This allows the CBE to track attendance of all of our students whether they are learning in class or at home.

If your child has been directed to isolate because of an in-school exposure, you do not need to call the absence line. Your school will mark your child as being in isolation until your confirmed return to school date.

If your child is in isolation because of a community exposure, please call the school and provide your expected​​ return to school date.

Find your school’s contact information here.

REVISED DIRECTION | International Travel Pilot & Return to Work After Travel ​

On Nov. 12, we advised that the 14-day quarantine requirement would remain in effect for staff and families who participated in the International Travel Pilot. Upon further review, we have determined that individuals who participate in the pilot may return to work or school once they fulfill the requirements of the pilot.

The pilot requires that at a minimum, students may not return to school until they have tested negative in the initial test and negative on a second test 6 or 7 days later.

If you are considering traveling internationally and using this pilot program, please review the program details available on the Government of Alberta website as there are variety of restrictions that apply. For example, if you travel internationally and return to Canada to a destination other than Calgary prior to travelling to Calgary you are not eligible for the program. For example, if you travel to Mexico and your return flight stops in Toronto, you will not be eligible for the program.

​Details of the pilot and restrictions.

Important Reminders

We remind everyone entering a CBE school must monitor for any signs or symptoms of COVID-19. The Alberta Health daily checklist can be found here. Please complete the checklist each day prior to attending school.

If your child has any of the symptoms of illness listed on the Alberta Health daily checklist, please fill out the online Alberta Health Services COVID-19 self-assessment or call Health Link at 811 and keep your child at home.
Thank you for your understanding and support as we work to keep our students and staff safe and healthy. If you have any questions, please talk to your school principal.

Sincerely,

Christopher Usih
Chief Superintendent of Schools
