January 13, 2021 RE: SCHOOLS REMAIN OPEN AND IN-PERSON LEARNING CONTINUES Dear Parents/Guardians:... Rainbow Schools remain open and in-person learning continues as the Province of Ontario implements additional measures to limit the spread of COVID-19. Transportation will also continue for elementary and secondary students in Sudbury, Espanola and Manitoulin. As indicated previously, we are following health and safety protocols to keep everyone safe wearing masks, washing hands, physical distancing and maintaining cohorts. To support provincial efforts, parents/guardians and students are reminded that masks are required outdoors when students cannot physically distance; appropriate masks must be worn at all times (no bandanas, scarves, etc.); and students cannot congregate before school starts. Students are also asked to go directly home after school and stay home to limit contacts. While secondary students may continue to go home for lunch, they cannot go to public places during lunch. Students can go outside at lunch and must wear a mask at all times, unless they are physically distanced from each other. Students must wear a mask when walking to and from school, unless they are alone. Only small groups are permitted. Parents/guardians are reminded to screen their children daily for any COVID-19 symptoms. Students must stay home from school if they are sick, have had close contact with anyone diagnosed with COVID-19, have been advised by a doctor, health care provider or Public Health to self-isolate, and/or have travelled outside of Canada in the last 14 days. Secondary students can self-screen and monitor for symptoms. The COVID-19 screening tool can be accessed at rainbowschools.ca at the following link: https://www.rainbowschools.ca/pa/covid-19/covid-19-updates/ The school screening tool will be updated soon. Please review and follow the guidance. The next opportunity for parents/guardians to transfer students from in-person to remote and remote to in-person learning will be February 8, 2021. This will be the final opportunity for the school year. Parents/guardians will be invited to confirm their status by completing a survey available from January 20 to 22, 2021. Thank you for working together to keep everyone safe.

Our Grade 4/5s are also working hard this morning.

We miss seeing you in the school and we are pretty sure that you miss seeing all of the little Geiger Grizzlies in action! So, we decided to make a slideshow to share some of the highlights from Fall 2020.

It’s beginning to look a lot like ... Halloween!!

With the slightly cooler weather, we have noticed that some children's masks are getting quite damp during the day. We have a very limited supply of emergency masks for our students. If possible, please send an extra mask or some disposable masks with your children. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the school.

Students will be celebrating Halloween in their classrooms on Friday. If your child is going to wear a costume, it must be worn to school. We ask that your child not wear a Halloween mask this year as regular cloth masks will continue to be required. Unfortunately, we will not be permitting the sharing of food during our classroom celebrations. If you have a question, please call the school or send your child's teacher an email. Thank you, in advance, for your support and understanding.

It is raining hard outside and we are hard at work inside!

It was a busy day at S. Geiger. Look at all of those hard working students!

Students in Grade 2/3 are engaging in some independent reading! They are super excited about poetry these days!

October 21, 2020 Dear Parents/Guardians: Students who are learning remotely can reintegrate into face-to-face instruction in mid-November. Conversely, students who are learning in class can change to remote learning.... Please complete the form at the link below to confirm if you will remain in class or online or transfer from one to the other. Please complete one form per child by October 28, 2020. bit.ly/rdsbstatuskto8 The change will occur on November 12, 2020. Please be advised that no changes will be considered after the deadline as we require time to re-organize classes in response to requests. Thank you. --

This is what listening to an audio book looks like!
