In This Together
I hope you and yours are keeping well during this unprecedented and highly unusual time for all of us.
Looking back over the past two weeks, the provincial government's decision to close schools seemed to be the first of a cascading series of federal, provincial and municipal decisions to help us all keep our distance and flatten the curve and minimize the stress on our health care system.
I know it is challenging for a great many families trying to juggle working from home, or away from home, and having kids at home, without a routine and school to keep them academically and socially engaged. Add to that the stress that the pandemic is causing many in our community with respect to family incomes, paying the bills and keeping ourselves and our families housed, fed and healthy, not to mention staying mentally and physically healthy.
Below is a series of short updates, some of which you may have already received, relating to our kids, classrooms and our schools as we stay home and do our part to stop the spread.
I appreciate your patience in this time of uncertainty, and I hope you are finding time to connect with your loved ones while respecting the direction from the Medical Officer of Health regarding social distancing.
Keep well,
Jennifer
