WEEKLY NEWS
Students had a great time participating in Mission ImPossible.
It is always a popular activity in PE. Students get a chance to
really work on their fundamental movement skills of balance,
stability, and other manipulative skills.
Over the last month, we have been working with each grade talking
about responsibility. We have had discussions about students being able
to take responsibility for our own actions. How to act more
responsible in different situations. How to be more responsible by helping
around the house. Being responsible with school work and other ideas.
Feel free to continue the talk at home.

Coronavirus Information
Black Gold School Division has a Pandemic Plan in place which
focuses on both preventative measures and identifying flu-like illnesses.
This plan was created with the guidance of Alberta Health Services
and can be implemented if necessary. The plan highlights six key
preventative measures which can be practiced at all times to prevent
the spread of any virus. These key measures are:
1. If ill, stay home from work, school and avoid public places.
Seek medical attention if symptoms progress.
2. One of the best ways to prevent influenza is to get the influenza
vaccine every year.
3. Hands should be cleaned before preparing food, eating, touching
one’s face and after coughing or sneezing, using the toilet and after
handling soiled material.
4. Wash your hands with soap and water, or use an alcohol-based hand rub.
5. Cough or sneeze into your sleeve rather than your hand.
6. Do not touch your eyes, nose, or mouth after shaking hands or
touching hard surfaces like counters and door handles or other surfaces
that may contain influenza and other viruses.
