The following information is available regarding COVID-19 for the 2022-2023 school year.  

Vaccinations

Book a COVID-19 Vaccination for Children six-months and above, click here

Children six-months to under five-years old are now eligible to receive first and second doses of the Moderna Spikevax® COVID-19 vaccine. For more information regarding the vaccine, please visit Durham Region Health Department and/or Government of Ontario.

COVID-19 First Boosters for Children Aged 5-11

The Ontario government has expanded eligibility for COVID-19 first booster doses to children aged 5-11 to provide an extra layer of protection ahead of the new school year. For more information regarding the COVID-19 vaccine, including recommended intervals between doses, please visit Durham Region Health Department and/or the Government of Ontario. 

In addition, on the recommendation of the Chief Medical Officer of Health the Management of Cases and Contacts of COVID-19 in Ontario, has been updated. 

 

Health and Safety

On the advice of the Office of the Chief Medical Officer of Health, masks will not be required for students, staff and visitors in schools, school board offices, or on student transportation. We will continue to provide free high-quality masks for students to use, if they choose to.

It is recommended that staff, students and visitors continue to self-screen every day before attending school using the COVID-19 school and child care screening tool.

On your way to School or Work? Complete the COVID-19 Self-Assessment Screening Tool

Following public health guidance, your child should not attend school if they fail the self-assessment screening tool or if they are feeling ill, to prevent the spread of illness. Please consult the Ministry of Health's Management of Cases and Contacts of COVID-19 in Ontario document for symptoms and other clinical features of COVID-19.

Appropriate hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette will continue to be promoted throughout the school day.

Staff, students, and visitors should ensure that they are complying with all applicable health and safety requirements for the sector or facility in which they are in (e.g. Rules associated with an Education and Community Partnership Program facility).

 

Access Mental Health Resources

All students will continue to have access to evidence-based and timely school-based mental health services and supports. Mental health professionals are available to provide well-being check ins, consult or assist with accessing resources. View our Mental Health resources for more information.

 

Durham Region Public Health

If you require more information, visit Durham Region Public Health or call Durham Health Connect Line at 1-800-841-2729.

If you develop any COVID-19 symptoms, self-isolate and seek clinical assessment by:
