Region of Waterloo Public Health has confirmed that a staff member at Southwood Secondary School, last in the building on November 2, has tested positive for COVID-19. The identity of the individual is protected by privacy legislation and will not be shared.

Public Health has contacted all high-risk contacts of the positive case and will provide individual guidance to them. As Public Health completes their investigation, those who have been directed will self-isolate and return to school on November 16, providing they are not showing symptoms.

If you are not contacted by Region of Waterloo Public Health, your child is not considered a high-risk contact.

We will continue to take direction from Public Health and will provide further updates as necessary.

Communicating with WRDSB families, students and staff is a guiding principle of our Return to School plans. In accordance with guidance from the Ministry of Education, the Confirmed Cases of COVID-19 page will be updated on an ongoing basis with information regarding confirmed cases of COVID-19 involving a student or staff member in a school setting. 

We thank you for your continued support during this time.
