Update on Rapid Tests

Hi everyone,
 
I hope that everyone is keeping well.  We do know there are a number of COVID cases among our staff and students.  I pray symptoms remain mild.
We got news yesterday that the Rapid Tests we have may now be sent home with students.  The fear was that if the tests froze they wouldn’t give an accurate result.
However, that isn’t the case.  If the tests do freeze, please thaw them out before use.  If you would like us to send home tests, please have your student present themselves at the office with the number of tests desired.
 
We did get other news today from the Premier and the CMOH:

• Masks will no longer be mandatory in indoor public places as of March 18, but their use will still be recommended.
• Proof of vaccination will no longer be required to access designated sites as of March 18.
• Government employees will no longer have to be vaccinated, as of April 4. 

All of which is welcome news for many. 

​Blessings,
Kyle Janzen, Principal VCSS
