Important Updates
Friday, September 25th
Hello GDHS families,
As our second full week draws to a close, we have been very impressed with how students have observed COVID protocols while in the building, wearing masks at all times and staying physically distant in classrooms and hallways. This is further evidence of the commitment GDHS students show to their community and its safety every day. However, we do have some concerns regarding what we have observed outdoors. Many students have been congregating unmasked in small groups while waiting for the bus. Halton Region's guidelines allow for students to be unmasked while outdoors, but also remind us that "COVID-19 is spread mainly from person-to-person through the respiratory droplets of someone with COVID-19. The respiratory droplets can travel up to two metres (six feet) through coughs, sneezes or talking." Given this reminder, we ask that you help us in reminding students that it is still important to stay two metres apart while outdoors if unmasked. As case numbers in the province rise, it is essential for us all to do whatever we can to mitigate the spread of COVID.
A reminder that the spirit wear store is open and will close on Sunday, September 27th 11:59pm (This Sunday). Delivery of items will occur approximately 5-6 weeks after this date. Sizes are uni-sex unless otherwise stated on the site. Toques are one size.
