The health and safety of students and staff continues to be Grande Yellowhead's main priority. As was anticipated by public health officials, the Division has seen a recent increase in influenza-like illness (ILI) and absenteeism in our schools. The Division is taking many preventative infection control measures in our classrooms, as well as working with government and health agencies to monitor the outbreak and to implement
appropriate protocols while minimizing disruptions and supporting learning. Please view the latest information on the Division's influenza H1N1 preventative strategies and additional parent resources |
