If you are returning from international travel over the break, please ensure you are familiar with the latest provincial and federal travel requirements.

Highlight from the current federal requirements:

For 14 days following entry into Canada, you and any children who travelled with you must:

• properly wear a well-constructed and well-fitting mask when in public spaces, both indoors and outdoors
• maintain a list of all close contacts and locations you visit
• keep copies of your proof of vaccination

Some federal rules after entering Canada are different from the provincial or territorial rules. In this case, you must follow the stricter rules.

Monitor for symptoms for 14 days after your arrival.

We hope that everyone has an enjoyable and relaxing spring break.  School re-opens on Monday, April 4th.

You are invited to join a dinner session to provide feedback on the School District’s Na’tsa’maht Enhancement Agreement Renewal.  Please follow the link below to RSVP for one of two dinner sessions in early April.

NEAR Consultation Invitation 2022

Our StrongStart facilitator is absent today and therefore StrongStart is closed for Monday, March 14.

Our apologies.

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.
