Air Quality and Student Safety
As always your child's safety and well-being is a high priority at OLA Catholic School. We are grateful for the collaboration, consultation and partnerships with Elk Island Catholic Schools, Alberta Health Services and our government resources. With you, we want to work together for the best interest of our children.
The Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) is the decision making tool for schools to use when determining if outdoor activities should proceed. Due to smoke from the northern wildfires, the AQHI in Edmonton and surrounding region yesterday reached 7 last Thursday. This is considered a High Health Risk zone. Whenever the index value reaches the high risk zone ( 7- 10+) it is recommended that schools choose indoor recess and where possible reschedule strenuous outdoor activities. As such, OLA students remained inside while index values remained high. Children, the elderly and those with respiratory and heart conditions are at most risk.
Please ensure that your child's teacher is up to date on any respiratory conditions your child may have and let us know if precautions are needed outside of the ones mentioned above.
Moving forward, we will be following this recommendation by checking our local AQHI and plan outdoor activities responsive to the recommendation. If the index is anywhere in the High Risk zone, students will stay inside.
Thank you for joining us in keeping all those affected by the northern fires in your hearts and prayers.
