Simultaneously, we need to establish special protocols for operations and

services that will need to be conducted in anticipation of the start of in-

person instruction. As we move towards our phased reopening, we ask

each member of our community to make safety and precaution-taking a

personal obligation as well. We ask that you pledge to look after your own

[A] PRE-SCHOOL ESSENTIAL CONSIDERATIONS

We advise parents to

1. have an honest and compelling conversation with their child so as to

convey the Do’s and Don’ts while they’re back home and when

they proceed towards the physical classrooms.

2. take the initiative to explain the child how the coronavirus can

impact individuals, and why social-distancing is essential and to

refrain from discrimination in all scenarios.

3. ensure that pre-teens and toddlers are sensitized specifically as they

may not be as sensitized as the teens are, about the virus.

4. teach the child about keeping safe distances. Reassure it by talking to the child how you are keeping safe.

5. ensure the limited outdoor access which is very important.

6. restrict children from going to common terrace in the building, or a

parking lot where your child can go and play, or at least run-around

as the easiest way Covid-19 can spread is through contaminated

surfaces.

7. While it is tempting to take them out for a walk, after being cooped

up in the apartment for the entire day, it is also important to

remember that kids tend to touch everything. Chances are, they

would touch the railings of the staircases that lead to the terrace or

parked cars, none of which are sanitized. It has already been proven

that the virus can linger on metal surfaces for days, so try and be

mindful of that in day to day functioning. In case of teenagers, help

them engage in constructive activities.

8. Teach the child about washing hands in a proper manner. They

should strictly be told not to touch anything outside the house. It

will be good if they wear clothes with pockets, and the parents tell them to put their hands in their pockets if they have to step out.

9. Tell them how important it is to wash hands frequently using soap and water or alcohol-based hand rub sanitizer.

10. When coughing or sneezing ask them that they should cover

their mouth and nose with a flexed elbow or a tissue. Tell them to

dispose of any used tissue immediately.

11. Ask them to avoid close contact with anyone who has cold or

flu-like symptoms.

MODULE 4

• Avoid public

transport if possible

• Maintain safe distance

protocol and wear

safety gear at all times

• Carry home cooked food

11

12. They should be taught to regularly clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces like phones, doorknobs, light switches and countertops.

13. Tell them to seek medical care at the earliest if they have fever, cough or difficulty breathing.

14. Encourage the child to ask questions and express their

concerns.

Listen to your teenager patiently.

15. Remember that your child will be dealing with the stress of

the ongoing crisis differently from you. (Specially the senior

classes students) Create a supportive and nurturing environment

and respond positively to questions and expressions of their

feelings. Show support and let your child know that it’s not only

okay, but normal, to feel frustrated or anxious at times like this.

16. Give extra support to your child at home by creating a routine

around school and schoolwork. This can help if they are feeling

restless and having trouble focusing. The child should be asked about their assignments or notes regularly and if any help is

required in their completion.

17. Entry into the school premises will be contingent upon the

furnishing of a fitness certificate of the ward and the person

accompanying your ward issued by a MBBS doctor. Kindly get

the necessary tests done in time so as to avoid any

inconvenience.

18. Students around the world have shown just how much they have

the urge to keep learning. They have persisted with their lessons

even under these difficult circumstances, with the support of

their dedicated teachers and parents. But many children might

need extra support to catch up on their learning when schools

reopen.

Bear with their pace and don’t burden them.

MODULE 4

• Avoid public

transport if possible

• Maintain safe distance

protocol and wear

safety gear at all times

• Carry home cooked food

seconds

alcohol.

• Avoid touching Mouth, Eyes, and Nose (MEN) because knowingly unknowingly they may touch other surfaces.

• Keep 6 feet of physical distance from others. Wear Avoid close contact with others.

• They should not pick up food at drive-throughs, curb side restaurant services, or stores. Prepare the requisite food and water for the trip.

• They bring along enough medicine to last for the entire trip. In case the child has a history of nausea or any other travel sickness.

• The child should wear masks and gloves during the entirety of the journey and should carry both N-95 mask and disposable masks

along with them. Handmade three-layered masks can also be given to kids. Also, ask them not to use others’ masks during the journey and

after they reach the destination.

MODULE 5

• SOP to be followed in
