September 16 update
Good afternoon families,
This is a brief update concerning the recent announcement regarding COVID measures in Alberta. As an online/homeschool most measures do not apply to us, which is one of the great advantages of our school! In terms of workshops and activities, however, we must comply with Alberta Health/Education COVID guidelines and regulations.
The first round of activities, advertised once again below, are mostly outdoor activities (with one possible indoor museum component which may be able to proceed with masks and social distancing). Outdoor activities are allowed to proceed without masks, but with social distancing (2m).
At this time, we are going ahead with most planned outdoor activities with no mask requirements, but with social distancing.
The Sherwood park opening picnic on September 20th will not be going ahead at this time. This is because of the very high number of students interested in participating, making it very difficult for our staff to come up with activities (on very little notice) that would have a reasonable chance of having everyone maintain the social distancing that we are required to do. We will be organizing an alternative activity for the Sherwood Park area and advertising this soon!
All activities/workshops require a parent permission form to participate - standard school and district requirement.
Please email or phone the RSVP contact for the activity you are planning to attend, so we can send you a form. Alternatively, be prepared to fill out a form at the event site before it begins.
As the weather changes and minimizes outdoor activities, we will be organizing virtual clubs and activities, and exploring indoor ones as COVID regulations allow. Thank you for your help in having fun, safe activities for our students!
