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.

Keep Us Informed of Student Issues

Please inform the school of any special health concerns regarding your child. This is most important in cases of allergies and for students unable to participate in physical activities. Parents of students with severe allergies or medical conditions must update this information each year on a form available from the office or the CBE website.

Allergies

We are a Nut Aware School

We are committed to providing a safe environment that is inclusive for all children. A number of our students have a potentially life-threatening allergy to peanut and tree nuts. Parents of children with allergies must fill out appropriate forms (also available in the office) and ensure the school has the necessary medication on-hand should a reaction occur. We ask that parents who are sending in classroom treats, please avoid the noted products. Staff is trained annually in the administration of an Epipen. 

Illness and Injury

Students who are too sick/injured to go outdoors should be kept at home until their health improves. Students that need to stay inside for reasons other than health (broken leg, etc.) will require a note from home. Where medication is to be administered to students by staff, a CBE form must be filled out each year, signed by parent/guardian and returned to the school. The medical form is available from the school office and the CBE website.

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.
