Message from Superintendent Scott Stinson regarding COVID protocol changes

Yesterday (March 10), the Provincial Government announced some changes to public health requirements.

How will these changes affect Sooke School District schools and sites?

• When we return from spring break on Monday, April 4, 2022 mask wearing will be optional for all students, staff and visitors. All students, staff and visitors must continue to wear masks at our schools and sites until this time as per the Provincial COVID-19 Communicable Disease Guidelines for K-12 Settings.
• We continue to follow the Feb. 17, 2022 version of the SD62 Communicable Disease Prevention Plan.

We acknowledge this has been challenging and stressful for everyone. We ask for patience and compassion as we continue with our current measures until spring break and then when we return, continued understanding that comfort level with the new guidelines will vary among all of our community members.

If you wish to review further, please see the Provincial COVID-19 Communicable Disease Guidelines for K-12 Settings.  Provincial COVID-19 Communicable Disease Guidelines for K-12 Settings.
