January 24: Inferno Weekly Update
Here is our weekly update of events and information for Greystone Centennial Middle School.
COVID Reporting
The number of COVID cases reported to the school is updated on our website each Friday. We continue to request that families let us know if a student tests positive for COVID, as we rely on self-reporting for these numbers. Thank you for your support.
COVID-19 Update
All families should have received an email from PSD with some important updates to our COVID response. You can always get the latest updates on the COVID-19 Information Page of the PSD website.
Alberta Government Rapid Tests and Masks
We are still waiting for the delivery of our rapid tests and masks from the Alberta Government. As soon as they arrive, we will send them out to the families that have requested them in our survey. Thank you for your patience.
