Principios fundamentales de las medidas de prevención
The duty of the school is to be extremely cautious in every health and safety measure in place.
No strategy of control alone can avoid the transmission of a disease; the integration of measures –big and small– is essential, inside the school and in every family.
The school needs us all: teachers, staff, and parents, for the preventive measures to be effective. We will ask each family to sign a responsibility form in which they give us their word to not send to school any student that presents symptoms.
The main goal of these guidelines is to limit the chains of contacts as more as possible, so the risk of community contagion is minimized. Each class will be set up as stable coexistence groups, or bubble groups; all measures look to ensure that students are only in contact with other students of the same bubble group. The regulation stipulates that the student ratio per class is for Prep School 20 students. For Secondary and Baccalaureate, it is 23 students. We have set up new classrooms for 9 different courses.
These measures will be adjusted and adapted in accordance with the evolution of the pandemic and the scientific knowledge available.
