Back to SearchNORTH BAY, ON – École secondaire catholique Algonquin is re-opening for in-person learning on Monday, March 1, 2021. The North Bay Parry Sound District Health Unit (Health Unit) dismissed the entire school community on February 12, 2021 as a cautionary measure after an individual tested positive for COVID-19. The school dismissal was related to the COVID-19 variant of concern and was a cautionary measure to reduce the spread of the virus. High-risk contacts have been in self-isolation and to date, no additional members of the school community have tested positive for COVID-19.
The Health Unit reminds parents and guardians to follow the guidelines provided to them by the school in preparation for their child returning to in-person learning. The Ontario Government recently added new COVID-19 screening measures in schools and child care centres to keep students, children, and staff safe.
