Secondary family information about active screening and masking 

During the week of Feb. 16, under the direction of Peel Public Health, the Peel District School Board began the process of Active Screening for returning secondary staff and students. Active screening is the use of a screening tool and the completion is verified (green checkmark and date) every day by school staff.

​Mental health is everyone’s business, and we all have a role to play.

It's flu season and we want to make sure students stay as healthy as possible. Getting the flu shot this year is more important than ever, in order to reduce the chance of having an illness that can be confused for COVID-19. Influenza (flu) spreads easily from one person to another and Peel Public Health has some tips to help reduce the risk of catching the flu and spreading it.
 
Get your annual flu shot: The flu shot is your best defense against the flu. The flu virus changes frequently so you need to get the vaccine every Fall. There are many locations across Peel where you can get your flu shots by appointment only:
§  Family Doctors' offices

§  Walk-in clinics

§  Pharmacies

Remember to physically distance and wear a mask at the clinic to help protect yourself and others.

Be sure to contact your healthcare provider to book an appointment, as walk-ins are not accepted due to COVID-19 safety measures.

This year, we have adjusted school routines in many ways to help reduce the spread of
COVID-19 and support the health and safety of our students, staff members and families. As we enter the winter months, we have made some important changes for days when buses are cancelled and/or school buildings are closed due to extreme weather conditions.
