costume parade success!!On Friday October 29, ÉSMS took took things out to the streets of St Malo with a COVID-friendly Costume Parade. We were graced with great weather for the day and had a exceptional turn out of number of students with costumes. Families and our grade 5/6 cohort joined in the fun from their yards, windows, and parked cars along the route. The parade was live-streamed to our grade 5/6 cohort students and staff who weren't able to attend. As we made our way through town, following our Pumpkin pilot car, kids danced along to great music sending out Happy Halloween wishes while families and onlookers cheered on. A special detour was made to visit our friends at smile Epic and the Chalet Malouin. All in all, it brought smiles and laughter out to the school community at a much-needed time.

In the event that your child is not well and showing COVID related symptoms, please refer to the following chart to determine your course of action. The list of COVID related symptoms is also listed below. Please note that if a student becomes ill with COVID related symptoms at school, the student will be isolated in a supervised area and families will be contacted to come pick up their child at school. If siblings may also be required to be picked up (if the circumstances are within the RED category below). In the event of a confirmed covid caseThe school may receive a confirmed COVID case notification from Public Health or from families themselves. At that time, contact tracing is completed and families for students who were identified as close contacts are directly contacted via phone by the school. This will be followed up with a close contact notification letter to the family (sent by the school on behalf of Public Health). A school wide notification will then be sent (again by the school). Close contact students will be required to be picked up from school immediately. At that time, in following with the South East Health Region Guidelines, siblings of these close contacts must also be picked up at school. Identified close contacts are required to isolate at home until the date indicated on their most recent close contact letter. Siblings of the close contact must isolate until the close contact has a negative COVID test, qualifies for an exemption, or is directed otherwise by Public Health. At all times, we follow the directions of Public Health (ie: criteria for close contact, duration of isolation required, return to school date). If you have questions or concerns about the health of your child in regards to being identified as a close contact, or questions about a vaccinated child, siblings as secondary contacts, please communicate with Public Health via Health Links 1-888-315-9257 or 204-788-8200 Donation Request - Gently used winter clothesWith winter nipping at our heels, we are reaching out to our school community to help ensure all of our students are warm and safe during our upcoming long winter months.
