(Schools may revise the content according to the school situation)

<Date>

Dear Parents,

The ten-day class suspension will be over by < DATE>, counting from the first day the staff

member/student of this school confirmed/suspected to have contracted SARS took his/her sick leave.

During the class suspension period, our school has thoroughly cleaned and disinfected the school

premises. We will urge all staff members, including tuck shop workers and school bus drivers, and

students to step up precautionary measures to ensure personal hygiene and environmental hygiene of

the school. We will also request our staff, including drivers and workers of school bus and nanny

vans, to take their temperature before going to school. If they have fever, they must not return to

school. Parents need not worry about sending their children to school.

Nevertheless, we understand

parents’ concern about the development of SARS and will be flexible in handling students’ leave

applications.

It is everybody’s responsibility to combat Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome. We call on you to

cooperate with us in providing your child a safe learning environment apart from stepping up hygiene

in the household.

Please pay attention and follow the following measures strictly:

3.1

Pay attention to the physical health condition of your child. He/She should stay away from

school and consult a doctor immediately when sick.

3.2

Take your child’s temperature before he/ she goes to school every day. Fill in the record sheet

(Form A) and sign your name on it.

Your child should return the completed sheet to us daily.

3.3

To prevent infection, please urge your child to wear a facemask and bring tissue paper to school

for wiping hands every day.

3.4

To raise teachers’ awareness of the physical health condition of students, please complete Form

B to provide us the following information :

(a)

whether your child has paid visit outside Hong Kong during the class suspension period;

(b)

whether your child has contracted/has been suspected of having contracted Severe

Acute Respiratory Syndrome during the class suspension period;

(c)

whether any person in close contact* with your child has contracted/has been suspected

of having contracted Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome during the class suspension

period.

Please sign on the Form and ask your child to bring it back to school on the first day of class

resumption.
