On October 24th, our school was informed of a self-reported positive COVID-19 test result or results.
The individual or individuals may have interacted with:
- Ms. Robinson’s class
Bus route name/number: NA
Extra-curricular activity: NA
This information is self-reported and has not been confirmed by Hamilton Public Health
Services (HPHS). We are uncertain of the infectious period. To protect the privacy of any
individual with a positive COVID-19 test result, we do not disclose their name.
Self-reporting positive COVID-19 test results is voluntary for those who choose to report,
although it is encouraged.
Under updated Ministry of Health guidance, HPHS will no longer be using cohort-based
dismissals for positive cases. Students and staff in a school setting are generally no longer
considered high-risk contacts requiring isolation. Students and staff who do not have
symptoms, have not been advised to isolate, and who pass the COVID-19 School and Child Care
Screening may continue to go to school.
Families are reminded to continue following all public health protocols, including masking,
physical distancing, and close monitoring of symptoms. Please follow the directions provided in
the COVID-19 school screening and stay home if your child is sick.
For updates, protocols and other COVID-19 resources, visit the website, HWDSB COVID-19.
Thank you.
