Dear Parents /Guardians
I hope you are continuing to stay safe.
In my previous correspondence we explained the measures that are being implemented at Crescent School to make it corona compliant and as safe as possible for your children. We feel we are on the cusp of opening.
We are awaiting an inspection from Environmental Health officers and if successful we will be certified ready for opening.
The opening arrangements for Term 2 2020 are as follows:
Tuesday, 26 May 2020: Form 1 to form 4 Secondary School students AND Std. 7s start school.
TIME : Corona Procedures start at 06:45. Class registration is 07:10. Dismissal time is at 15:15.
Monday, 1 June 2020: — Reception to Std 6 start Term 2, 2020.
TIME: Std 4 to 6 Corona procedures start at 06:45. Class registration is 07:15. Dismissal time is at 13:15.
Reception classes to Std 3 Corona procedures start at 08:30.
Reception classes’ dismissal time is at 12:30.
Std 1 to 3 dismissal time is 13:30.
Reception classes to Std. 3 students who arrive earlier than expected will be supervised by their class teachers. This is for those parents who will be inconvenienced by the staggered times.
Please NOTE that this is subject to Crescent School being given clearance by Ministry of Health and Ministry of Basic Education. We will communicate expediently if there are any changes.
The following procedures must be adhered to by students when entering the school:
- The school gates will only open a 06:45 for the start of corona procedures. Students will NOT be allowed into the school before this time because the teachers will only begin duty at this time.
- Everyone MUST wear a mask. This includes the infants.
- Students will be ushered to their entry points from the car park.
- Students must dip their feet onto disinfectant mats placed at entry points.
- Student’s temperatures will be taken and recorded as they enter. Any student with a temperature above 37.4’Ç will be isolated in the school hall and parents will be contacted to collect them. Student’s temperatures will be recorded before dismissal.
- Students will have to sanitize their hands at entry points.
- All students must maintain social distancing both in and out of the classroom.
- Students must have their own They are not allowed to share.
- Students must bring their own food and they will not be allowed to share food.
- Students must wash their hands before and after using toilets and before eating.
- On the first day of term students will be orientated on the School Corona Compliance Plan. This will be done by class teachers and at the correct level of the learners.
- Visitors are not allowed into All visitors must report to reception.
We have disinfected the school by a registered company. Classes will be deep cleaned every day after students dismiss. All classes will have hand sanitizers, soap and paper towels. We recommend that students bring their own hand sanitizer so that they can sanitize at their own convenience and their own facecloth for drying their hands.
Waiting areas have been demarcated for lower primary, upper primary and secondary school students to ensure social distancing when students are waiting to be collected.
Extra teachers will be on duty at arrival and departure times. Teacher duty starts at 06:45 and their duty ends at 16:15. Thereafter students will be left with the security officers. WE URGE PARENTS TO ENSURE THAT THEIR CHILDREN ARE COLLECTED ON TIME SO THAT NO CHILD IS LEFT UNSUPERVISED AT SCHOOL.
School fees for 2020 will remain the same; however, Management has formulated a payment plan policy which our accounting function will make available to parents accordingly. The plan includes yearly, termly and monthly payment options.
Students who have outstanding fees for Term 1, 2020 will unfortunately NOT be admitted into class for Term 2 unless full payment for Term 1 is made.
Yours
Mr N. Miller
School Head
