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!

Immunizations
Hastings Prince Edward Public Health (HPEPH) strongly recommends that everyone who is eligible, gets fully vaccinated to protect against serious effects of COVID-19.  However, currently only 57% of local students aged 12-17 years of age are fullyvaccinated. Increasing vaccination rates among this age group is critical to keeping us all safe. 
 
Eastside Secondary School is hosting a COVID-19 Immunization Clinic on September 15th.  Please learn more about vaccination clinics here.  Please see a Q&A about students and vaccinations here.

Confirmation of Daily Screening

Students are required to confirm they have passed COVID-19 screening each day before going to school. Parents/guardians are asked to complete this Google Form to confirm that you agree to screen your student before they are sent to school.
