A second case of COVID-19 has been identified in Auburn Drive High School.
Out of an abundance of caution, the following will happen:
-
Auburn Drive High School will be closed to students and staff tomorrow (Friday, November 20).
-
The remaining schools in the Auburn Drive Family of Schools (FOS) will be closed to staff on Friday. All staff, with the exception of caretaking/custodial staff, will not report to their school and will work from home.
Friday is an assessment and evaluation day for students in Pre-Primary to Grade 9 so students were not scheduled to be in school. In addition to Auburn Drive, the schools in the Family are Astral Drive Elementary, Astral Drive Junior High, Bell Park Academic Centre, Caldwell Road Elementary, Colby Village Elementary, Graham Creighton Junior High, Humber Park Elementary, and Joseph Giles Elementary.
-
All schools in the Auburn Drive FOS will undergo a comprehensive cleaning.
-
All schools in the Auburn Drive FOS will be closed to community bookings from now through Sunday, November 22.
- The Halifax Regional Centre for Education, with direction from Public Health, will share more information with families on Friday.
