January 25, 2022

I would like to extend my heartfelt appreciation for your continued understanding and support of COVID-19 protocols in order to provide the best learning experience that we can to our students.
 
Along with a renewed sense of hope, 2022 has ushered in substantial shifts in the way COVID-19 is managed in BC, both for the general public and for the K-12 sector. As per our governing body, the Federation of Independent Schools Associations in BC (FISABC), here is a breakdown of what we need to remember:

Things that are OUT:
  • Contract tracing for school-related cases
  • Self-monitoring and self-isolation letters for close contacts
  • School exposures posted on the VCH website
  • COVID-19 School Exposure Reports
  • “Circuit breaker” closures
  • VCH ordered closures (except in rare situations, e.g., a declared outbreak

Things that are IN:

  • Attendance monitoring  
  • Functional closures due to staffing issues
  • Daily reporting of student and staff attendance to the Ministry of Education
  • Continuity of learning
  • Medical Health Officer ordered employee vaccine disclosures 

Things that remain the SAME:

  • Please wear an appropriate mask (unless eating or drinking)
  • Please remember to wash or sanitize your hands
  • We ask that all parents and students ensure they complete a daily health check prior to coming to school. Here is a copy of the Daily Health Check and What to Do When Sick guide as a reminder.
Thank you again for your continued support and confidence in Stratford Hall Faculty and Staff.
