Covid News
Over April and May, health officials have monitored COVID-19 cases in the territory. Through this monitoring, the Office of the Chief Medical Officer of Health (OCMOH) has found we are at a stage in the pandemic where mandatory masks in schools are no longer required.
Starting on Tuesday, May 24, mask use in all areas of schools and on school buses will be optional for students and staff.
While this is an encouraging step to returning to life before the pandemic, all students, staff and families should continue to use caution and take steps to reduce the spread of COVID-19 in schools and our communities.

- Practice the safe six: make sure you continue to wash your hands regularly, physically distance where possible and stay home when you are sick.
- Mask use: students and staff can choose to use masks as another layer of protection.
- Outdoor and on-the-land learning: as the weather gets nicer, schools are taking their learning outdoors. Outdoor and on-the-land learning opportunities are a great way to provide valuable learning while also reducing the spread of COVID-19. We encourage students and staff to take their learning, recess and lunch breaks to the outdoors.
- Get vaccinated: We continue to recommend that all eligible students get vaccinated as another valuable layer of protection.
(The registration form is also available under the Parents/Forms tab on the FH Collins main page.)

Principal's Message
Classes are coming to a close, exams will soon be written, graduates will move to a next phase of their lives, and the summer will be here. The summer provides a time of rest, relaxation and rejuvenation for many; for others, an opportunity to work and learn valuable employment skills. I suggest, though, that the summer is a great time to reflect – for all of us!
What was the biggest change in my life this past year?
What am I most proud of from the past year?
What is the most important lesson I learned?
What could I work on to improve in the future?
How do I have a positive impact on people?
These are questions worth pondering as we soak in the Yukon summer warmth and summer sun, preparing for another school year to start in August!
Mr. Petriw, Mrs. Petriw, and Ms. Annie Bernard are 3 people who are not preparing for another school year, but rather are preparing for a new phase of their lives – retirement! They will be dearly missed by us all at F.H. Collins – thank you all for your immeasurable impact!
Summer will end, and another school year will begin! Lots of exciting things are planned, and lots more waiting to be discovered. Until then, take care, enjoy, stay safe, and learn or reflect on one thing every day!
