Dear parents / guardians
With the end of the Circuit Breaker on 1 Jun 2020, we enter the phase of safe opening. 2 Jun 2020 marks the beginning of a brand new school term. This new term with new arrangements and routines will be a new normal for all of us.
We hope that this issue of Parent Kit will help you to understand Back to School arrangements better and how you can guide your children to adjust back to school.
We also ask for your support to keep our school and children safe, as you have done before the start of Full HBL. Pages 7 to 10 of the Parent Kit provides information on how you can do so.
At PHS, we are working behind the scenes to prepare our school to ensure the safety our students so that learning can continue when school re-opens. We look forward to welcoming our students back in school!
Thank you and keep safe!
Yours faithfully,
Victor Owyong

Attachment: Letter to Parents Term 3
Dear Parents / Guardians
Term 2 of this academic year has been a very different one from previous years because of the precautionary measures that have been put in place to contain Covid-19. We thank God that PHS staff and students have been kept safe from Covid-19 and we continue to seek His protection. We have been on Full Home-Based Learning (FHBL) since the third week of this term on 8 Apr 2020 and last week MOE had announced that the school holidays will be brought forward to commence on 5 May 2020.
Please refer to the attached letter from the principal, on the adjustments that MOE and our school would be making in the light of these changes.
Attachment: Letter to Parents
Dear Parents / Guardians,
Thank you for standing by your teens and supporting the school through the HBL period!
With the upcoming holidays, your teens will be spending more time at home. This will be a wonderful opportunity for you to deepen your relationship with your teens and bond more as a family. By making small changes to what you say and do, you can relate better to your teenager, and equip them with the much needed support and positive attitude needed for life.
This issue of Parent Kit provides you with tips on how you can frame your conversations with your teenagers positively, and things you can do to guide your teenagers to become mentally and emotionally resilient. It also suggests ways in which your family (your teens included) can bond while showing care for each other.
Stay safe and keep healthy.
Thank you.

Dear Parent of MOE FAS student,
The Government has provided a range of support to Singaporeans, including families with school-going children who are affected by the outbreak of COVID-19 and the resultant circuit breaker measures. During this circuit breaker period, MOE, with support from the Sayang Sayang Fund launched by the Community Foundation of Singapore, will extend meal subsidies to your child/ward regardless of whether he/she returns to school during full HBL. This provision will apply for the full HBL until 4 May 2020.
MOE will disburse the school meal subsidies via two top-ups to eligible students’ School Smartcard. Each child/ward will receive a total of $120. The School Smartcard can be used to purchase food and essential groceries at selected hawker centres, food courts, minimarts, convenience stores and supermarkets as listed in the following URLs:
Your child/ward can redeem the extended meal subsidies at any Transit Link Add Value Machine once every two weeks, starting from 14 April 2020. The locations of Transit Link Add Value Machines can be found at this URL, https://www.transitlink.com.sg/PSdetail.aspx?ty=art&Id=29.
You could also obtain the details from the 2 attachments.
Thank you.

Dear Parents/Guardians,
Schools will re-open for Term 2 on 23 Mar (Monday) as planned.
MOH has announced that 14-day Stay Home Notice (SHN) will be issued to returning Singapore Residents and visitors from all countries. To further protect our schools, MOE will implement additional precautionary measures by issuing a 14-day Leave of Absence (LOA) to students and staff who have been out of Singapore on or after 14 Mar. Day zero of the 14 days of the LOA will commence from the date of their return to Singapore, and affected students should keep away from schools with immediate effect, i.e. from tomorrow (20 March) until the end of the 14 days. All affected students will be supported via home-based learning. You may approach your child’s school for clarifications.
We assure parents that all schools have been thoroughly cleaned and enhanced hygiene measures are in place.
MOE will continue to monitor the situation closely.

Dear Parents / Guardians
Thank you for your cooperation and positive response to the measures put in place by the school with regard to the 2019-nCoV situation.
As mentioned in the latest communication from the school to you dated 4 February, we have implemented social distancing to ensure a safer environment for our school community.
We would also like to inform you that the following activities planned for the school and individual consortium for Term 1 Week 5 to Week 10 will be cancelled or re-scheduled.

Dear Parents,
Singapore has announced additional precautionary measures that will be put in place as a protection from the 2019-nCoV virus. The safety and wellbeing of our students is our topmost priority and PresHigh is ready to implement these additional measures starting tomorrow 5 Feb 2020.
As an example of the social-distancing measures that we will be implementing, we will be holding our morning assembly in the classrooms instead of at the Parade Square. We will also be making changes to our recess times so that students will eat at staggered time slots. We will be conducting a thorough briefing for our students tomorrow and will also be providing more details of programmes that will be cancelled or suspended.
Everyone should continue to practise good social responsibility by seeing a doctor and staying at home if one is feeling unwell.
Let us work together and be resilient. We look forward to seeing your children in school tomorrow!
Warmest regards,
Mr Victor Owyong
Principal

Keeping our Students Safe from the 2019-nCoV
Dear Parents,
Thank you for your support in ensuring that your child/ward brings an ODT to school. We have been able to conduct the daily temperature taking exercise smoothly with the strong cooperation of the students. We have also been teaching your child/ward about the novel coronavirus and the good personal hygiene practices to protect himself/herself against transmission. Let us work together to role model and reinforce these good practices at home. You may wish to watch the attached GIF on how to beat the bug, and please feel free to share it.
We understand that parents may have some questions about the 2019-nCoV situation and hence would like to share the link to MOE’s FAQ that you will find helpful.
