Keeping Everyone Healthy! - HTCSD H1N1 Preparations

PANDEMIC PLANNING

Holy Trinity Catholic School Division has taken a number of precautions to help curtail the transmission of the H1N1 virus within our school communities. Even though the expected outbreak may be mild in most cases, it is essential that we take every opportunity to internalize the practice of good hygiene. Holy Trinity is working closely with Five Hills and Chinook Health Regions to ensure that our community is prepared and informed. Please direct all inquiries to Celeste B. York, Director of Education 694-5333.
