Updates about COVID-19

As information about public health measures associated with COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) emerges, we will post it here.

Updates about COVID-19

Central Okanagan Public Schools' top priority is always the safety of our staff and students. We continue to work closely with local and provincial health authorities to get the latest information and ensure we cooperate with any recommended measures for COVID-19.

We continue to educate on best practices for preventing the spread of viral illness, including frequent and thorough handwashing and encouraging people to stay home from school or work when they show symptoms.

School campuses will remain closed to visitors unless otherwise invited. Students and families must not enter schools after Spring Break. This includes school grounds, playgrounds, classrooms, and StrongStart Centres. If you have personal items within your child(ren)'s school, we ask that you wait for invitation to pick up these items.

The Government of BC has declared a state of emergency and a public health emergency in order to exercise emergency powers such as cancelling gatherings of 50 or more people and enforce social distancing requirements for establishments.

On March 17, the Government of BC and the Ministry of Education announced the suspension of all K-12 in-class instruction until further notice. We will continue to provide information on the continuity of learning and the role schools will play in supporting public health measures as it becomes available.

British Columbians can now call 1-888-COVID19 or text 604-630-0300 for non-medical information on the virus, including topics such as travel recommendations and social distancing.

Grade 5 Bottle Drive

The grade five students will be holding a bottle drive in the Rutland area to fundraise for their year end Gardom Lake camping trip. The bottle drive will take place on the morning of Saturday, April 4th and has always been a great success due to the great community support. So save those bottles and cans as we will be coming to your door, or you can drop them off with us at the depot on that morning. If you cannot be home, feel free to leave your donation in a bag clearly marked Rutland Elementary in your driveway and we will pick it up.
