Dear NLPS Families,

This morning, the provincial government announced that B.C.’s first case of the Novel Coronavirus was found in a patient living in the lower mainland. As a result, the Vancouver Island Health Authority (VIHA) asked that the district share the following information:

• Island Health, the BC Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC) and provincial and federal authorities are closely monitoring the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) from China.
• The risk of spread of this virus within British Columbia remains low at this time.
• All necessary precautions are being taken to prevent the spread of infection.
• Travelers arriving in Canada from affected areas are being assessed at the point of entry.
• Island Health and BC are prepared to quickly and accurately detect and respond to serious infectious diseases.
• It is not necessary for the general public to take special precautions beyond the usual measures recommended to prevent other common respiratory viruses. Regular handwashing, coughing or sneezing into your elbow sleeve, disposing of tissues appropriately and avoiding contact with sick people are important ways to prevent the spread of respiratory illness generally.
• People who have travelled to the main affected area who have symptoms of the coronavirus, such as fever and cough, should contact their primary care provider or call 8-1-1.
• If you have questions, see the BCCDC website: http://www.bccdc.ca/about/news-stories/stories/2020/information-on-novel-coronavirus
• For travel recommendations, see http://www.travel.gc.ca/
• Visit the WHO webpage for international information:  https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019

VIHA recommends that there is no need to restrict any activities for international students or to cancel any mass school events or field trips to public spaces or events. Students who become ill following international travel can call 8-1-1 or see a health care provider.

Hay ch q’a/Thank you/Merci

Please come share in your child’s learning. Doors are open to all parents today from 1:30-2:30.  Tour your child’s classroom and take a look at all the great things they’ve been working on.

Good afternoon Rock City Community,

Please note: The district has done an excellent job shoveling and clearing both parking lots and paths around our school. However, there is no clear path from the rear parking lot to the doors.  Please use caution when walking in this area in the morning.

Also, all areas that have been cleared may be icy so please slow down and “walk like a penguin”.

Thank you,

All hot lunches must now be purchased on-line through the munchalunch website. You can register for an account and place you orders at https://munchalunch.com/schools/RockCity/

Parents and Caregivers,

Please help us out by reminding your child that once they arrive at school, bikes and scooters should be pushed or walked.

Also, don’t forget helmets are always a great idea!

Thanks
