COVID HEALTH CHECK FORMS REMINDER:       

As part of the District’s Safety Plan and COVID protocols, parents must sign into Parent Connect and complete the on line Health Check Form.  By signing off on this form you are confirming that you will go through the Daily COVID Symptom checklist each day before school and that you will not send your child to school if you have answered “yes”  to any of the questions. It’s a confirmation that you’ll do your part to help keep everyone at school safe and help prevent the spread of COVID by not sending your child to us if they are sick (and we thank you in advance!).                                                                                                             

TERRY FOX DAYS AT BROOKE                                                                                                   We will be celebrating the official Terry Fox Run by having three days of activities in classrooms learning about Terry Fox and taking part in runs and walks within our learning groups. While we will not be collecting money in our school this year, we have attached the link here where you can donate to The TerryFox Foundation online.    http://www.terryfox.ca/BrookeElementary 

 

Types of Allergies | AAFA.org We have a number students and staff who have serious allergies to food products, such as a variety of nuts. While the school is not nut-free, we are still asking families to be aware of these allergies by limiting nut products in student snacks and lunches. Students can also help by continuing to wash their hands after eating and by taking home any wrappers or containers that may contain these products. In addition to this, if your child is in a class with a student who has a severe allergy, you will receive a letter from the school outlining if certain food/products need to be avoided by students in the class in order to create a safe environment.

If your child has life-threatening allergies, please ensure you have informed the school and that you have provided the necessary paperwork and rescue medication (eg. Epi-Pen).

Thank you for your cooperation.  With your help, we can do our best to prevent a reaction and to make sure that all of our students are safe, healthy, and able to concentrate on learning. Anyone wishing further explanation or information on this type of allergy may contact the school.

MEDICATION AT SCHOOL

If your child has any serious allergies or medical conditions, and/or needs to have access to medication such as an inhaler or epipen at school, please contact our school administrative assistant, Mrs. Werner at swerner@deltasd.bc.ca
