The department of education recently announced new start dates for the delayed 2021 school year. But as students started to head back to school on February 1, the Covid threat sadly still exists. While there may be encouraging Signs that the pandemic’s second wave may be starting to die down, vigilance is still the buzzword, especially for schools where the infection risk is high.
School reopenings will need to be consistent with the country’s overall COVID-19 health response to protect students, staff, teachers, as well as their families.
A few measures that schools are will continue to rely on include:
- Staggering the start and close of the school day
- Staggering mealtimes
- Moving classes to temporary spaces or outdoors
- Holding school in shifts, to reduce class size
Schools must ensure adequate Stationery supplies and strictly enforce social distancing
Hygiene and social distancing protocols also need to be strictly adhered to at schools to prevent the spread of Covid-19. Frequently touched objects and surfaces should be cleaned hourly with diluted bleach disinfectant when in use, classrooms must be properly ventilated and cleaned at least twice a day with a disinfectant.
As schools reopen, it is important that students and teachers alike have adequate stationery to prevent sharing, which encourages the spread of the Covid virus. As schools seek to catch up with lost time, it is essential to ensure adequate supplies of quality printed resources such as workbooks and curriculum guides, teacher lesson Plans, report cards, and school Calendars.
There is a lot of lost teaching time to catch up on. Don’t let inadequate stationery be the reason why your school continues to lag behind. Contact Minuteman Press Krugersdorp today to discuss your stationery needs for the 2021 school year.
