General Health Measures
In all matters of health, CBE takes direction from Alberta Education and Alberta Health Services. Find out how you can reduce the spread and lessen the impact of illness in school communities.
Routine Immunizations
The CBE supports the AHS school-based immunization program.
Attendance
It is important that you call the school if your child is absent or arriving late. Please report all absences to the Attendance Line at403-817-3544 ext. 1. See more on our Attendance page.
Illness
A student who becomes ill should ask the teacher for permission to report to the office. In the office, a decision will be made whether to contact a parent to make arrangements to receive the student at home or invite the student to spend some time in the office.
Medication
Student Health Emergency Response Protocol Form
This form is to be used when there is a student health issue regarding attention. This includes when there is a request to administer medication.
This form is to be:
- completed if a physical or medical condition may affect the student’s attendance at school
- completed if medication is to be taken at school,
- reviewed and updated annually or sooner if there is a change in the student’s health concern or school registration.
Allergies
We are an allergy aware school. Keeping students and staff from a variety of allergens is a shared responsibility of students, staff and parents.
Lice
There may be times during the school year when we have cases of head lice.
If your child has head lice, please contact the school and let us know. If your child has been exposed to lice at school we will notify you.
As a precaution, we ask all parents to check their child’s head frequently for a few weeks after any exposure. You can find more information on lice from myhealth.alberta.ca.
