Now that all COVID-19 restrictions are newly lifted, NLESD still have guidelines they expect students, teachers and staff to follow.
On March 2, 2022, during the Provincial Government’s COVID-19 update, the Chief Medical Officer of Health indicated that wearing masks will still be in place for all K-12 schools until at least April 14, 2022, which brings us up to Easter break.
The school district is committed to following the medical advice and guidance of Public Health experts regarding the COVID-19 protocols in an effort to reduce transmission within the school environment, including school buses. As such, masking in schools and on busses will remain in place.
A further announcement will be made prior to the return of classes on April 25, 2022.
