Health and Safety at SchoolKey steps for health and safety at school
All schools must follow the health and safety guidelines for K-12 school settings set by Yukon’s Chief Medical Office of Health. School staff will go over health and safety routines at our school with students on a regular basis. The key steps our school will be following include:
Detailed plans The detailed operational plan as approved by the Medical Officer of Health can be seen here. The FH Collins operational plan was revised 23 November 2020. The summary can be seen here. The FH Collins operational plan was revised for second semester. The summary is available here. The FH Collins operational plan was revised for the return to full time classes. The most recent version can be seen here. Staying home when sick or showing symptoms If a student or staff has symptoms or is sick, they must stay home and not come to school. You should monitor your child ever day for symptoms before sending them to school. To help assess symptoms, use the COVID-19 self-assessment tool at: service.yukon.ca/en/covid-19-self-assessment. Check for new or worsening symptoms when monitoring. For example, a child with asthma may have a cough that is not new. Symptoms you should monitor for include: Fever/chills, cough, shortness of breath, running nose, sore throat, headache, loss of sense of taste or smell, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea and muscle aches. See the following two articles to help with making decisions on staying home: Parent information letter here. School Stoplight here. Visit the following websites for more information:

Principal's Message
We have made it to the end of the 2020/21 school year! First, I want to congratulate the Class of 2021 for persevering through the challenges that they faced this year, and wish them all of the best as they embark on their life after high school. We will be celebrating the Class of 2021 at the Cap & Gown ceremony at the Takhini Arena on June 10th. Due to Covid restrictions, this event is by invitation only, and tickets are limited to two per graduate. We will be broadcasting this event through our Facebook page, so please join us in through this format if you are not part of the ceremony.
The past two weeks have been very difficult for indigenous peoples across Canada. The FH Collins community stands with all First Nations, Inuit, and Metis from coast-to-coast-to-coast. Please reach out for supports if the recent events are triggers for you.
As we prepare for the summer, and as we prepare for the easing of Covid restrictions in our territory, I want to wish everybody a great summer, and hope that everyone stays healthy, and can see their loved ones in other parts of the country. I, myself, am very hopeful that I am able to see my three older children in Newfoundland this summer! Let’s keep making those vaccination numbers get higher!
End of year report cards will start to be mailed out during the week of June 14th- 18th. The first day of classes for students is Monday, August 23rd. As we get closer to the beginning of the 2021/22 school year, we will be sending out information on grade 8 orientations, and how students will get their schedules.
Have a safe and happy summer!
Sincerely,
Jay Thomas, principal
