Chinook School Division releases statement on COVID-19 cases at Leader Composite School and École Centennial in Swift Current
Chinook School Division administration has been informed by officials from the Saskatchewan Health Authority that a positive COVID-19 case was identified in one individual at École Centennial School in Swift Current, and in two individuals at Leader Composite School.
Communication has been shared with the school communities and the SHA is conducting contact tracing. All students at Leader Composite School are currently participating in Remote Learning due to an earlier case. At École Centennial, as an extra precaution and to support the efforts of Public Health, students in the affected class are moving to Remote Learning for the necessary time period. All other classes at École Centennial will continue face-to-face.
All Chinook schools follow enhanced cleaning protocols and include multiple protective provisions for students and staff.
To protect privacy, we are not able to share or discuss details.
We all have a shared responsibility to decrease the risk of COVID-19 entering schools. Our school plans contain many important measures, processes and protocols which add layers of protection for students and staff.
Students and families are reminded to be diligent in performing the daily health screening, stay home if ill, call HealthLine 811 if exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms, practice proper hand hygiene, maintain physical distancing as much as possible, wear a mask when appropriate, and do everything we can to keep each other safe.
