The Catholic School board has dismissed 22 students from St. Joseph’s Catholic High School Monday due to a high risk exposure to COVID-19.

The board says they been working with the Health Unit by providing lists of students and staff who may have been directly affected.The health unit is contacting any individuals, both students and staff, who may have been affected, and will give directions for them to follow.

“A voice message and letters to the entire school community were sent home this afternoon to reassure parents that if they have not been contacted by the health unit, they have not been identified as close contacts and their children may continue attending school as usual.
We have advised parents to continue to monitor their children for symptoms of COVID-19 each morning and to keep them at home and call your healthcare provider for further direction if they are ill,” said Stephen Fields, Communications Coordinator for the board, said in an email.

Fields says they want to assure parents that they are cooperating with the health unit and doing everything they can to make sure that they continue to provide a safe and healthy learning environment for their children.
