Some parents were furious to find out that by Monday, March 15th, some of their kids would be put into a new classroom with a new teacher. They didn’t understand why the Trillium Lakelands District School Board would do this, this far into the school year.
“We’ve had waitlists we’ve been addressing as best we can throughout the year where parents have requested their child move from on-line to in-school and vice versa. At the beginning of the school year families chose in-school or at-home learning in August. In October there was a major reorganization of classes for those who requested making a move. Since then, we’ve put students on waitlists when there has been a request for a change. While we’ve addressed the waitlist in smaller ways throughout the year it needed to be addressed, hence the reorganization of classes taking place now,” said Catherine Shedden, District Manager of Corp

The Trillium Lakelands District School Board (TLDSB) has confirmed two students have tested positive for COVID-19 at Bracebridge Public School.
The information was posted on TLDSB’s COVID-19 dashboard, but no statement has been made by either the school or the school board on further action being taken.
“A positive case at the school does not mean the individual was exposed to COVID-19 at the school,” it says on TLDSB’s website. “They may have been exposed somewhere else in the community.”
As part of TLDSB’s COVID-19 protocols, all staff and students must screen themselves each day before they come to school. If they experience one or more coronavirus symptoms, they must stay at home until they are no longer symptomatic.

COVID-1924 February 2021

The Ontario government has introduced changes to the COVID-19 school screening protocol, now calling on students who display even a single symptom to stay home for at least 10 days, or until they have received a negative COVID-19 test result or been cleared by a health care professional.
Since schools returned to in-person learning last month, students have been required to be screened for symptoms prior to entering the classroom.
Those symptoms include: fever and/or chills; cough or barking cough; shortness of breath; decrease or loss of taste or smell; sore throat; difficulty swallowing; runny or stuffy/congested nose; pink eye; headache; digestive issues like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach pain; muscle aches; extreme tiredness; and falling down often.
