Update Letter for ESS Students

As a part of Ontario's response to recent trends in COVID infection and hospitalization rates, all publicly funded and private schools have been directed to move to remote learning starting January 5 until at least January 17, subject to public health trends and operational considerations. Eastside Secondary School students are asked to read a letter from administration regarding returning to learning for January 2022 here.

Semester Two Schedule Update

Hastings-Prince Edward District School Board has received direction from HPE Public Health to remain in quadmesters in Semester Two.  Read the full letter from Director MacIver here.

 

The Government of Ontario is providing take-home rapid antigen testing kits for students in publicly-funded schools to promote a safer return to school after the December break. These kits have been delivered to schools of Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board and will be provided to students of Eastside Secondary School

The rapid antigen tests are being offered to any student attending in-person learning, regardless of their vaccination status.

For further information, please read the letter from Director MacIver available here

For instructions on how to use the rapid antigen test click here

At Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board, the goal is to keep students safe and learning at school.  Therefore, working in partnership with Hastings Prince Edward Public Health, a continually monitored, enhanced daily screeening tool has been implemented for all students, staff, and visitors to schools.

Anyone going to a school must pass the provincial screening tool AND the HPE Enhanced Screening Tool before going to school. This letter from HPEPH explains to families the circumstances and process involved when a student is sent home from school with symptoms of COVID-19.
Thank you for your diligence in keeping Eastside safe and healthy!
