TDSB HEALTH SCREENING PROTOCOLS

HEALTH AND SAFETY MEASURES AND PRACTICES

 We continue to take our health and safety direction from the Ministry and Toronto Public Health and it is important to note that this is the current information and can change based on a change of guidance. 

Screening – Students and staff should continue to do a daily self-assessment before entering school and stay home if they are sick. 

Masks – The TDSB continues to be a mask-friendly environment inclusive of all staff and students. While the Ministry of Education and public health officials are not mandating the use of masks, Toronto Public Health strongly recommends wearing a well-fitting, high quality mask, especially in indoor public settings. 

Cohorting – Cohorting classes is no longer required for health and safety reasons.

Enhanced Cleaning – Caretaking staff will continue to perform routine cleaning of general facilities throughout the day and enhanced cleaning of high touch surfaces such as light switches, handrails, door handles, etc.


 Signing In and Out During the School Day

We strongly discourage lunch sign-outs in an effort to minimize contacts throughout the day. For those students who have appointments during the day, please notify the office in advance and then call the office when you have arrived at the school.  Please buzz the office when you have arrived and we will bring your child to the front doors to meet you. Please allow extra time for this process, as students may be outside when you arrive.

School Yard Rules

We also ask that parents and caregivers of children from Grades 1 to 8, do not come into the school yard in the morning or afterschool when dropping off or picking up your child. Please say good-bye to your child at the gate. We appreciate your cooperation with the school rules and routines. 

Dressing for the Weather

All students must be dressed for all types of weather. Please make sure to send your child with an appropriate jacket, hat, mittens, rain boots etc.  Gym classes are also being conducted outside on a regular basis.
