Resumption Tips for Students, Parents and School Owners

Resumption Safety Tips for Parents

As we prepare for the new school term, let us remember our responsibility to protect our children in every way possible, knowing that true safety comes from God. Here are some important suggestions to consider:

1. Be Discreet with Names
   Do not write your child’s name where it can be easily seen. Remember, anyone who calls your child by name is no longer a stranger.
2. Drop-off Procedure
   Please do not drop your child off at the gate and leave immediately. Ensure that your child enters the classroom before you go.
3. Check-in with the Teacher
   Always call the teacher later to confirm that your child is at school.
4. Inform About Delays
   Let the teacher and school security know if you will be arriving late.
5. Pick-Up Arrangements
   Make adequate arrangements if you cannot pick up your child after school.
6. Be Cautious with Transportation
   Do not place all your trust in motorcycle (Okada) drivers or tricycle (Keke Napep) riders.
7. Supervision for Younger Children
   If you have children under ten, please ensure that there is an older adult to pick them up.
8. Avoid Overgrown Areas
   Due to heavy rains, areas may become bushy; instruct your children to avoid these places.
9. Teach Safe Walking Habits
   Train your child never to walk alone.
10. Travel Precautions
    Teach them not to accept rides in the scorching sun.
11. Stay at School During Heavy Rain
    In heavy rain, children should remain at school instead of walking in potentially dangerous conditions.
12. Provide Meals
    Please make sure to send your children with food to school, as they may get distracted during break times.
13. Hydration is Key
    Ensure they bring water bottles to avoid begging for water at school, which could be problematic.
14. Encourage Faith
    Finally, teach them to trust in God and to pray always.

May Almighty God guide and protect our children. May all attempts by those with ill intentions be thwarted.

Together, we will nurture and protect our children. Amen.

Let us all strive to be vigilant and caring.
