COVID-19 outbreak announced at Charles Spencer High School

Nov 9, 2020 | 10:17 AM

Charles Spencer High School has been deemed the site of a COVID-19 outbreak by Alberta Health Services, after multiple individuals tested positive.

In a letter issued Saturday, November 7, Deputy Superintendent of the Grande Prairie Public School Division James Robinson says the school will remain open for in-person classes for all students not identified as a close contact.

“School administration has reached out to families whose students have been identified as close contacts. If you have not received a phone call your student has not been identified as a close contact at this time and can continue to attend in-person classes.”

The school is the fourth in Grande Prairie to be declared an outbreak site, which is declared when there are two or more cases confirmed in a school setting within a 14-day period. The other schools include St Joe’s, the Grande Prairie Christian School and Riverstone Public School.
