January 28, 2020

ALCDSB LogoMarch 4, 2020

​The health and wellbeing of all Board students, staff, volunteers and community members is a priority for the Board. We work in collaboration with all of our public health units who have asked us to share information about COVID-19.

On January 30, 2020 the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a global public health emergency. The majority of COVID-19 cases are in mainland China; however, the virus has now been detected in a number of countries around the world.

The Board will continue to share any information that comes from our Public Health community partners, the Ministry of Health, and the Ministry of Education. All updates and information can be found on the Board website.

Kingston Frontenac Lennox & Addington (KFL&A) Public Health and Hastings Prince Edward (HPE) Public Health recommend members of the public take the following usual precautions to reduce the risk of transmission of the flu and respiratory illnesses;

  • Wash your hands frequently using soap and water or alcohol-based hand sanitizer
  • Cough and sneeze into the bend of your arm, not into your hand
  • If you use a tissue, throw it away immediately and wash your hands
  • Avoid touching your nose, mouth or eyes with your hands
  • Get plenty of rest, eat healthy and stay physically active to keep your immune system strong
  • Stay home when you are sick and avoid contact with other people until you are better
  • If you suspect that you are sick, avoid visiting people in long-term care, or individuals with health concerns
  • If you are seeking medical care and are experiencing respiratory symptoms, always put on a mask when you arrive to help protect others

  • Discipleship

    We accept the call to be imitators of Christ by embracing the Beatitudes through authentic witness at the school, community, and global levels. Rooted in our commitment to transmit our Faith and Catholic tradition, we are inspired to build communities dedicated to the formation of young people who recognize their gifts and responsibilities to contribute to the transformation of the world into a more just and loving society for all.

    ​
  • Scholarship

    We believe that each student, made in the image and likeness of God and being hope for the future, can be engaged in their learning and achieve at high levels with appropriate supports. We are committed to ensuring that the potential of each student is realized through the achievement of ambitious outcomes and improving in their learning to the highest possible level.

    ​
  • Stewardship

    We embrace our responsibilities for the prudent and judicious use of the resources we have been allocated. In our context, we are committed to the development and growth of all employees, responsible and accountable practices and our call to care for all of God's creation.
