Dear Staff and Parent/Guardian,

We want to recognize that many viruses including COVID-19 are present in most communities currently. We are also seeing that some respiratory viruses, such as influenza, are increasing as we move into the winter season. This means that it is important for everyone to continue to assess their personal risk and the risk to those around them and add layers of protection to decrease the risk of respiratory illness.

We are recommending that community members continue with preventative measures to prevent illness such as:
• Self-monitoring for symptoms of illness and staying home when sick.
• Handwashing and using hand sanitizer often.
• Covering your cough and sneezes.
• Increase cleaning on surfaces especially places people touch often.
• Masking as a method of reducing transmission.
• Stay home if you are sick
• Get vaccinated and/or boosted for Influenza & COVID19. Information on Public Health clinics can be located here.
Contact the provincial 811 Health Line for further support if needed. If you feel you need to seek medical attention, please contact your health care provider.
Provincial data on circulating respiratory viruses can be located on the Government of Saskatchewan Webpage under the Community Respiratory Illness Surveillance Program.
Thank you for your cooperation during this period. We appreciate your assistance in preventing the possible spread of infection.

Sincerely,
Dr. Mohammad Khan
Medical Health Officer

Due to increased illness in our community, we have cancelled our November assembly. 

CPES Christmas store

 On December 15^th - 20^th, we will be running a Christmas Store at the school for our students.  Your child will have the opportunity to pick out one new or gently used gift for someone in their family. Children will be able to “purchase” a gift with a food donation for the food bank. Please send a non-perishable food item with your child for this giving and sharing activity.

To make this event possible, we are looking for donations of gift items:
For Dad’s...Fishhooks, ball caps, ties, handy tools in excellent shape, something to read, coffee/ travel mugs, surprises!
For Mom’s...Scarves, pretty jewelry, mugs, home decor items, like new tea towels, toques or mitts for Mom, warm socks, something to read.
For little siblings… small toys, children’s books in great condition, games.
If you would like to receive it as a gift, it would be a great donation for our Kids’ Store! Donations can be dropped off at the CPES school office.
We also appreciate donations of Christmas gift bags/tissue.

Wind Chill Safety Practice at CPES:
- When the windchill or temperature falls to -30 C., school administration will advise school staff to keep students inside, during recess and noon hour breaks, as well as before school.
- We also communicate with families, to remind them to send their child to school in appropriate winter clothing, and our school will try to supply winter clothing for children if families are unable to provide it.
- After a number of indoor recesses, however, the decision may be made by school administration for the students to have a short playtime outside – 10 min. from notification. This allows for children to dress for outdoor play and by the time they reach the playground, they have approximately 5 minutes to get some fresh air. This may take place when the temperature/ wind chill is -30 to -32.
- All students and staff need to be dressed for outdoor play every day during winter weather, as the weather conditions can change throughout the day. We may be in for one recess, the wind goes down, and we can go out for the next.
- The Weather Network is our North East School Division weather information source.
Our safety plan is reviewed yearly by our school administration and our SCC.
