Elk Island Public Schools (EIPS) is making changes.

Wednesday morning (Mar.11), the division were advised a parent of two of students at A.L. Horton Elementary in Vegreville was confirmed to have COVID-19.

According to the division, the students, along with the spouse, have not tested positive, but are currently in self-isolation.

"The children however, attended school earlier this week and rode on EIPS buses," said Laura McNabb, director of communication services with EIPS.

As a precautionary measure, a deep-clean will be done on the entire school and the buses used. Communal water fountains will be temporarily shut down, along with all community use of the school and planned large-scale school gatherings.

"We will be supplying bottled water for all A.L. Horton staff and students," added McNabb.
