January 20, 2021 -- Ever wondered what happens when there is a case of COVID-19 at a school? A lot of work goes on behind the scenes. After the notification from Public Health, it usually begins with school division and school-based administration identifying potential close contacts in the school. This work is done in consultation with and confirmed by Public Health.

What is contact tracing? We are trying to find out where the staff member or student was on the day that they were contagious. Were they in one classroom or several? Did they go throughout the school or stay in one office? How close did they sit or stand to others and for how long?

January 20, 2021 – the Saskatchewan Health Authority informed us that there was one case of COVID-19 in an individual at Sheldon-Williams Collegiate.

For the safety of students and staff, and in consultation with Public Health, we have informed close contacts and provided them information about self-isolation. The affected students will begin remote learning based on the their Level 3 schedule and will not return to the school until January 29, 2021.

Letters will be sent to school families on Wednesday, January 20th.

If there are any additional close contacts at the school, they will be contacted directly by Public Health. A close contact is someone who has been within two metres (six feet) of someone for a cumulative 15 minutes.

We are asking parents, guardians, students and employees to participate in a voluntary, anonymous and confidential survey. Deadline for completing the survey is January 29, 2021.

A summary of the survey results will be on the Regina Public Schools website, when available.

Surveys were sent home from all schools on January 14, 2021. The survey link is available here.
