Health and Safety Information
Following the latest guidance from the Ministry of Education, there are no COVID-related restrictions in effect at Grand Erie schools. Staff and students are no longer required to complete the COVID-19 screening self-assessment prior to attending school or work; however, anyone who exhibits COVID-19 symptoms (see the Ontario self-assessment tool for a list), or symptoms of any other illness, should not come to school, but remain at home until well.
Students, staff or visitors who choose to wear a mask are welcome to do so. Hand sanitizer is available at all schools, and masks and rapid antigen tests are also available, free of cost, for students and staff. Anyone who has travelled internationally must still follow Government of Canada guidelines for travellers.
Grand Erie is following all Ministry guidelines with respect to ventilation in schools. The publicly available ventilation report by school is available on our website.

We are an Eco-School
Did you know our school is an eco-school? Well we are, and that means that our school is making efforts every day to stay green. Some of the things our energy efficiency group is doing include implementing eco-friendly browsers, starting lights out lunches every Monday and Friday, creating signs for lights and monitors, and adding important information to our school website about being eco-friendly. We're also having a fun sweater day where we’re lowering the temperature of the school by two degrees and we will all wear sweaters. We’re also adding Ecosia to all our browsers. Ecosia is a company that plants a tree for every forty-five searches on the internet. Students are also making fifteen signs and posting them around the school, to remind people to turn off lights and monitors. Sweater day will be held on the 29th of November, and the 16th and 17th of December. Remember to check the school website for more cool information about how we are going eco-friendly, and the steps to become a platinum school, and to watch a video about implementing eco-friendly habits. Always remember to stay green!
From,
The Energy Efficiency Team of École Confédération
