Re: Grade 7 School Timetable from 29 June 2020
Dear Parents/Guardians
As the school re-opens for Grades 6, 3, 2, 1 and R it is essential that we revise the School Timetable for Term 2 in order to comply with the social distancing requirements on the school premises and within the classroom.
RED/BLUE PROGRAMME
We are therefore introducing the RED/BLUE Programme.
This entails:
- Learners ONLY attend school on alternate days.
- Each learner is placed in a colour group, either RED or BLUE. (see attached Annexure)
- A calendar indicating the days on which each group has to attend school will be provided.
- Homework will be scheduled for the days on which the learners are at home.
ARRIVAL AT SCHOOL
Upon arrival at school, should your child not meet the screening criteria which includes
- a temperature exceeding 37.5 degrees Celsius
- display cough, shortness of breath or sore throat
- have been in contact with a COVID positive person
You will be contacted and your child will be sent home immediately. Parents are advised to seek medical attention and to keep the school informed as to the outcome.
Pre-screening must be done by parents, at home, to avoid your child being turned away at the gate.
If your child is ill, PLEASE keep them at home.
SCHOOL TIMES FOR TERM 2
GRADE | MONDAY – THUSDAY | FRIDAY |
7 | 08h00 – 14h20 | 08h00 – 12h20 |
Please be punctual when fetching your children as they will not be supervised after school. Collecting children LATE places your child at risk.
ACCESS CONTROL
- ONLY the school gates at the “Drop & Go” Area will be opened for learners.
- Entrance and exit for learners will ONLY be via these gates.
- Access commences from 07h30.
In compliance with COVID 19 regulations, parents will not be allowed onto the school premises but are able to contact the school via:
- email: info@yorkroadprimary.co.za
- no: 021 704 1705
We look forward to your continued support and co-operation as we navigate these uncertain times.
Yours in Education
