LETE Learning Hub Update

/in , ,

On April 6, 2021, Listuguj high school students returned to in-class learning in New Brunswick based on the Group A/B scheduling. For continuing support, the learning hub at the LMDC remains open. As the A/B scheduling will continue for the foreseeable future, students are still responsible for the online remote content on the days they do not attend SSHS. The Listuguj Education, Training and Employment anticipates a seamless and positive transition. Students should feel welcomed and supported through their daily activities. We will continue to support individuals’ social, emotional, and academic success.

As term 2 is coming to an end, attendance at both sites will be reflected in the students’ school checks. SSHS is hosting virtual parent and teacher meetings on Thursday, April 15, in the evening, and Friday, April 16, in the morning. Parents/Guardians will need to contact SSHS to schedule a meeting at 506-789-2125.

LETE wants to hear from parents of all students to share your child(ren)’s successes as well as any concerns. Please feel free to contact Tammy Barnaby at tbarnaby@lete.listuguj.ca or 418-788-2248.

Important Message from Listuguj Health and Safety

/in ,

Pleased be advised that certain respirators and face masks have recently been recalled by Health Canada. We encourage all community residents to read through these recalls carefully and inspect their masks accordingly.

The first recall is for KN95 respirators. The products in this recall do not all meet the minimum 95% filtration rate that is required. Do not use these masks in situations where a minimum 95% filtration rate is required (such as health care settings). A full list of products and manufacturers can be found here: https://www.healthycanadians.gc.ca/recall-alert-rappel-avis/hc-sc/2020/73137a-eng.php

The second recall is for disposable masks that contain graphene or biomass graphene, which is reported to have antiviral and antibacterial properties. There is a potential that wearers could inhale graphene particles from some masks, which may pose health risks. While Health Canada continues their investigation, they are recommending that these masks not be used. Consult your health care provider if you have used graphene face masks and have health concerns, such as new or unexplained shortness of breath, discomfort or difficulty breathing.
