Dear Colchester Colt Families

Happy August!  I hope that all of you had an enjoyable summer.  I just wanted to share a quick update. 

I am expecting the GECDSB COVID safety plan will be finalized very soon.  The plan continues to evolve as the COVID numbers in our area increase.  In general, school will look very similar to last year with a few small changes. I will post a detailed plan later this week.

Here are some items I feel confident won't change -

• Students and staff must wear masks. 
• Students will wear masks in the building.  Students do not need to wear masks outside.
• We will able to use our gym for phys. ed as long as we can physical distance.
• We will be having entry and dismissal into the school just like last year.
• We will have an isolation room again
• Classrooms will look very similar to last year.
• We will continue to be kind, flexible and committed to learning 😊

Please know that class lists continue to change with new registrations.  Your child should be able to see who their teacher is after September 3rd.  As always, there is a possibility that we will reorganize classes in September.  I have done everything I can to minimize this disruption, but please know that our registration has increased so we may need to move classes around.

Finally - I can't wait to meet all of you!  I am so happy to part of the Colchester family and I know that we will have a great year.

Enjoy the sunshine. 

Stay well,

Heidi Horn-Olivito
