Region of Waterloo Public Health has confirmed that a staff member at Lexington PS, last in the building on October 26, 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. At the guidance of Public Health, high-risk contacts in the identified cohort are directed to self-isolate until November 9.

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.
