In relation to Covid -19 (formerly known as n-Cov 2019), we at WALES had discussed steps for the safety and protection of our students and staff from the virus. The deliberated measures are as follows:

• Students, teachers and school staffs are to have their temperatures checked daily (every morning)

 

• Incoming students shall have their temperatures checked upon arrival

• The school shall provide hot beverages such as tea and calamansi drink

• The school shall provide soaps and hand sanitizers

• Students shall be informed to avoid outdoor activities and crowded places

• Students, teachers and school staffs are recommended to wear face masks

*If students are observed to have symptoms of fever, cough, shortness of breath, breathing difficulties, and other respiratory problems, we take immediate action by bringing them to the hospital. The school is conveniently located near medical facilities.
