Dismissal Procedure

17 Jul 2009

Dear Parents/Guardians

DISMISSAL PROCEDURE

We are going into the Week 4 after 3 weeks of daily operations
in managing various aspects of Influenza A (H1N1) matters,
including tracking all visitors entering our school. In this aspect,
one of the difficult tasks which we have to encounter is the
restriction of entry of visitors into our school without unduly
inconveniencing our parents/guardians fetching their child during
dismissal.

Before the outbreak of H1N1, both Gates A and B are opened for
parents/guardians to walk freely into the school to fetch their child
during their respective dismissals. As we have to be vigilant in
keeping out unwell visitors, it would be almost impossible with our
limited resources to check all parents/guardians entering our school
during the dismissal.

However, we recognize that not allowing parents/guardians to walk
into our school to fetch the pupils would create a big crowd at our
gates. After careful thoughts, we have decided to implement a control
policy of restricting the movement of unchecked visitors within our
school.

As is currently practiced, parents/guardians are restricted to entering
our school through Gate B only when fetching their child during the
normal school dismissal at 1:30pm. These parents/guardians must also
exit through Gate B after picking up their child. With the resumption of
CCA, remedial and supplementary classes, we can anticipate a larger
crowd.

Therefore, with effect from Monday 20 Jul, we will continue to disallow
parents/guardians to enter the school to fetch their child after these
classes. However, in order to disperse the crowd, we will also open Gate
B from 3pm to 4:15pm to allow pupils to exit there. With this dismissal
procedure, all parents/guardians could fetch their child either at Gate A
or Gate B (from 3pm to 4:15pm only).

We would like to seek your cooperation and understanding as we work
together to reduce and improve visitor flow into Nanyang Primary
School.

Thank you and best regards.
