KES Health Measures - Masks
All students on a bus must wear a mask as per the provincial health order.
Following the current direction of Alberta’s Chief Medical Officer of Health, BTPS recommends, but will not require, that students and staff wear masks. We support each individual’s choice to wear, or not wear, a mask. We recognize that each family has to consider their own personal situation when making decisions about masks.
*** As of September 9th, students and staff are required to mask due to covid cases in our school, we will continue to mask until 14 days after the last case. Communication will be sent to parents by email.***
As per BTPS policy, if there is a positive COVID-19 case within a school, masks will become mandatory for all staff and students in the school for 14 days.
Parents/guardians and all other visitors must wear masks when they are in the schools.
VIBE Coach at KES
Welcome back, I hope everyone has had an enjoyable summer filled with connection and new
memories. I am Kirsten Evans, the VIBE Coach at KES. VIBE is a Mental Health Capacity Building program funded by AHS. We focus on mental health prevention within the school typically through programming within the classrooms, community activities, etc. Over the year, your child may come home with notes, crafts, activities, or stories from the VIBE program. I encourage you to ask your child what they have been learning with VIBE throughout the year.
