Island Health – Information for Students and Families
With the outbreak of measles in Vancouver, BC, families may be wondering what steps they can take to protect themselves from measles. Vaccination is the best method of protection. All school-age children and adults born in 1970 or later should have 2 doses of MMR vaccine for full protection. Most people born before 1970 are immune to measles because of past exposure or disease.
Please take some time to check your vaccination records to see if you or your children need additional vaccination. Vaccination is available from physicians, pharmacists (for adults and children over 5 years), and public health units (for children). Call ahead to your healthcare provider to ensure that MMR is available at your appointment.
If you have any questions or would like more information about measles and MMR vaccine, please visit healthlinkbc.ca and immunizebc.ca.
Lost and Found
We are overwhelmed with the volume of items left in our lost and found each week. In order to keep items organized, we are hanging items in the hallway close to the front door. Please ensure your child is checking for lost items on a regular basis. Before spring break we will donate unclaimed items to a local charity.
As a growing school district, some of our schools are nearing capacity. Visit our Student Enrolment Priorities page to learn more.
