“If you are receiving this letter, it means your child may have been at the school during this time; however, the exposure did not take place in their cohort or class(es),” said Gord Stewart, superintendent of Langley schools.
“If your child was exposed, you will receive an additional letter providing more information.”
A COVID-positive individual was at Brookswood Secondary on Feb. 4, at Langley Fundamental at Feb. 8, and at Yorkson Creek on Feb. 8, according to Fraser Health.
