Good morning,

We received the following notice from the District of Sooke:

Please be advised Charters Road in Sooke will be single lane alternating traffic at the Throup Stream on Monday next week, likely (at least) until Thursday. We will have more information, after the rainfall event passes.

Northbound vehicles must yield to oncoming, southbound, traffic.

Following the storm event, traffic control will be re-evaluated.

Lost and found items are building up!

Students have been asked over the last couple of weeks to visit the lost and found items which have been laid out for them to look at in the hallway by the gym. Mrs. Abell has now taken these items home and washed them, in preparation to take them to charity. If you know that your child has misplaced an item (most likely a hoodie or jacket), please contact Mrs. Abell to describe the lost item and to whom it belongs – she will attempt to return as many items as possible. The unclaimed items, however, will be taken to charity after Monday, December 6.

Thank You

Dear families,

Colder weather often brings thoughts about travelling to warmer destinations. Here’s what you need to know if your child is not yet vaccinated and what it means for returning to school from an international destination.

We follow federal travel guidelines around COVID-19. These guidelines state that:

unvaccinated persons, including children, who travel outside of Canada cannot attend school for 14 days following their return.

This restriction also applies to:

• day cares and camps
• settings where they might have contact with vulnerable people (e.g. long-term care facility) or those who are immune compromised.
• Large crowded indoor or outdoor settings (e.g. amusement parks, sporting events)
• Crowded public transportation that does not ensure physical distancing

*Unvaccinated youth ages of 12-17, must fully quarantine for 14 days.

If you decide to travel internationally with your unvaccinated children, please coordinate with your teacher and school before you leave to ensure your child stays on top of schoolwork while they are away and for the 14 days following their return. There is not an option for virtual or hybrid learning.

For more information on federal guidance and restrictions, visit canada.ca/coronavirus. For provincial measures, visit bccdc.ca/covid19 or call 811.

It is the responsibility of parents and families to know and understand the federal and provincial guidelines and regulations before they decide to travel. SD62 follows the regulations in the links listed above.

Sincerely,

SD62 Communications Team
