Hello Storrington Stingers,
We hope that all of our Stingers had a great weekend.

Storrington Volunteers
Last week was Volunteer Appreciation Week. On behalf of all our Stingers, we want to thank our amazing volunteers for everything they do to support Storrington Public School. We are truly appreciative of our parent community for their commitment to our students. Whether it’s volunteering on School Council, volunteering in classes or on on a field trip, or volunteering with fundraisers, we are grateful for everything you do.

Updates to Provincial Self-Screening Tool and Guidelines
Students and visitors need to continue to self-screen each day, prior to school.
-Students and staff should stay home when sick. Anyone who is feeling sick or has any new or worsening symptoms of illness (including COVID-19 symptoms) should stay home, until:
-their symptoms have been improving for at least 24 hours (or 48 hours for nausea, vomiting, and/or diarrhea), and
-they do not have a fever, and
-they do not develop any additional symptoms.
-For a total of 10 days after the start any illness symptom, students and staff should continue to wear a well-fitted mask in all public settings (including schools and childcare, unless under two years old) and avoid non-essential activities where mask removal is necessary.
