Stay Home, Stay Safe, Stay Curious – School Holiday Edition

Dear parents, 

A big thank you for the effort in supporting your children through Full Home-Based Learning. With the May holidays coming up, we hope this gives you an opportunity to find new ways to spend time and strengthen the bonds with your children while staying safe at home.

This issue of Parent Kit provides tips on how to occupy your child’s time meaningfully during this school holiday and how you can foster stronger relationships within the family.

Do also look out for a Holiday Care Pack that your child should have received from his/her teacher.

Let’s continue to do our part to fight the virus as we stay home, stay safe and stay curious this season!

Dear parents, 

Thank you for standing by your teens and supporting schools through the HBL period! 

With the upcoming holidays, your teens will be spending more time at home. This presents you with the opportunity 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. 

Dear parents,

As we enter the second week of Home-based Learning (HBL), you might still be adjusting and coming to grips with balancing working from home and supporting your children’s home-based learning. Let us all learn together and adapt to the new challenges that we are facing. Together, we can overcome them!

This issue of Parent Kit provides you with tips on how you can make the work from home experience more manageable and meaningful, while looking out for your child’s overall physical and cyber well-being during the HBL period.

Remember that we are only a few days into HBL. As the days go by, we will find our collective rhythm in setting up new norms for ourselves.

Let’s stay home, stay safe and stay curious. We will overcome the virus together.

Dear parents,

Starting from 8 Apr 2020, we will shift to Full Home-Based Learning (HBL) till 4 May 2020. It is an important stage in our fight against COVID-19 where we need to stay home, stay safe, and help our children stay curious.

Last week’s HBL has helped all of us to be better prepared. There will be issues and challenges as we move to Full HBL, but let’s work together to overcome them.

HBL cannot fully replace physical learning in school, but it will ensure that our children will be able to progress with learning while remaining safe.

We have come through challenges before, we can do it again. Let us partner to guide our children to tide through this and emerge stronger.

This issue of Parent Kit aims to help you understand what HBL is and how you can support your children during the period of Full HBL.

We hope you find the issue useful, especially for those of you who are also working from home.

Stay home, stay safe, stay curious.
