We are pleased to welcome students back to learning in person on Monday, January 17th.  This is a reminder that students will be in their periodC/D  courses.  We are returning to the safety protocols with which we began the school year.  This means during the nutrition break students will need to remain in their first period classroom to eat.  Students also have the option to go outside to eat.   Whichever they choose they will remain there for the entire nutrition break.   Students are also reminded to please dress appropriately to be outside.  Students are to complete the Ontario Daily Screener Button daily before arriving at school and the Secondary Verification Portal Button. Both are located on the left side of our website homepage:  https://bci.wrdsb.ca/.  For more information, please see the following post on our school website.  Questions have changed on the screener, so please ensure that you read them carefully and follow the prompts that are given as they will help guide you in how to answer the questions.  Please also, once you get the result, ensure you scroll down and read the Next Steps Page.  You will need to show the verification screen to your first period teacher.  Students should check into their C and D teachers’ digital learning environment before Monday morning as teachers will be posting a message welcoming their students back.  Finally, it would be a good idea over the weekend to get back into practice of wearing your mask for extended periods of time, as proper mask wearing is vital.  We, along with Bluevale Staff, are so looking forward to our students returning.  Please continue to stay well.
