Resumption of classes｜Primary school prepares a quick test kit to reserve a place to be the principal: Overcome the psychological barrier of class resumption with parents
[08:00] The school will gradually resume face-to-face classes tomorrow (19th). Many schools are busy preparing. The Tsuen Wan Chamber of Commerce School in Tsing Yi is no exception. Senior primary school students will be the first to return to school tomorrow.
Before the resumption of classes, school staff were busy cleaning classrooms and playgrounds. Teachers and staff have compiled daily temperature and quick test results record sheets for students and parents to use. Interested people also came to the school to donate quick test kits.
Principal Zhou Jianhao said that more than 1,000 quick tests have been kept and can be distributed to students in need; even if students forget to take quick tests, the school has reserved a place for students to make up for quick tests.
He believes that the school's original measures, coupled with the daily quick test, can give parents more peace of mind to let their children go back to school.
𠵱The epidemic situation at home has eased a little, so we should go back to school, do a lot of wild things, or go with our parents to overcome this psychological obstacle that may be dangerous, I think it is worth it.
Chow Kin Ho, Principal of Tsuen Wan Chamber of Commerce School
