 Transportation services

The school is aware of the importance of school transportation because of that school provides transportation to the students in different bus routes.

Bussing is provided if there are enough students in the same area to serve a bus route. School offers a door to door transportation by the help of bus monitors.

The safety of the children using the School’s bus service is of utmost importance. So in each bus there is a bus monitor who supervises children during the transportation period.

Children who ride the bus are expected to adhere to the bus safety rules and follow the directions of the bus monitor. Students or parents contact Administration if they want to use transportation services.

  Security Services

The security of the school and our children is a priority matter.

The school employs guards in school for seven days a week and 24 hours in a day to protect us or warn us of danger.

If a situation threatens the safety of our children in school, we will endeavor to keep them safe until we can get them home. Unless there are reasons to act hastily, children will be transported home in the normal fashion at the end of the regular school day. If it should become necessary to close the school for a time, we will send that information home with the children.

If safe transportation is threatened, children will remain on campus until it is safe to send them home. A telephone network has been developed to inform parents about any problem.

While there are emergency plans in place to be activated if needed, we do not want parents unduly alarmed about their children’s safety.

  Health Services

A doctor is on duty during school hours. She is available to students and staff and will gladly assist parents in any health matters they may wish to discuss. Health services provided by the school include health counseling, first aid, evaluation of illness, and contagious disease control.

Health Records

a) Records on student medical history and immunization status are collected from every student on school entry. The minimum recommended immunizations are tetanus, diphtheria, polio, measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) and a tuberculin skin test or chest X-ray.

b) Records of school related injuries needing further medical care are kept in Doctor’s Room.

c) Records are maintained in the Health Office and considered confidential. Information will be shared with the student's teachers if it appears to bear on the student's performance. Any information that a parent wishes to have held in complete confidence should be so indicated when it is entered into the record.

d) When a student leaves the school, the health records will be included in the student's final records.

Student Absence due to Illness

b) After assessing the health problem and administering care as needed, a decision will be made whether the student should return to class, rest or be sent home. In the event that MIST further care is indicated immediately, the parents will be notified by telephone. If a parent or the emergency contact cannot be reached, care will be sought usually at the nearest Hospital.

c) If the student has a fever or is thought to have a contagious illness, he/she will be kept in the Doctor’s Room. We ask for parent co-operation in making arrangements for the child’s return home as soon as possible.
