If you have a new Domestic Helper, a different Grandparent or different adult is coming to pick up your child from school, please notify the Kindergarten Office giving us their full name, Hong Kong Identity card number and their telephone number. 

All people coming to pick up your child must:

• Be on the authorized list i.e. a parent has given us permission to release their child to that person 

• Bring the green pick-up card (original card, photographs will not be accepted)

• In absence of the pick-up card, for persons we do not recognize we will either - check their Hong Kong Identity Card or call the phone number you have given us 

• If we are unsure of the identity of the person picking up your child, we will check their identity

• If the person is not listed in our records, then we will call parents

• If your child usually takes the bus home and changes to being picked up from school, please notify us. Please ensure that the person coming to school is on our authorized list. If in doubt, please give us their name 

If you change or employ a new Domestic Helper, please notify us to remove your previous helper or add a new helper to the authorized pick up list. 

Thank you

Valuable Items

Octopus cards/money should not be brought to school (including putting them in school bags) as these are valuable items and could be taken out and lost. 

Watches and / or Jewelry

Watches, necklaces, bracelets or rings should not be worn to school as these often distract the children and their friends. Sometimes the children will take them off and lose them. 

Please also do not wear large headbands or large bows as this can distract others during lesson times.   

Other items, such as toys, should not be brought to school unless requested by the teacher. 

If your child is sick, please keep your child at home to rest and recover and notify the Kindergarten Office (by phone or email) of:

• Your child’s absence / number of days your child is likely to be off school

• Your child’s body temperature (please state actual temperature, not just “has a fever”)

• Once recovering from a fever (38C or above), please let us know the day and time your child’s fever subsided without medication. If you do not specify a time, we will use the time from your email. We can then specify how soon your child may return to school (48 hours after fever subsided).

• Your child’s symptoms (not just “unwell”).

If your child has Chickenpox, Hand Foot and Mouth or other notifiable disease - please send in a doctor’s note confirming diagnosis. We also require a doctor’s note stating that your child is fit to return to school.

Red Eyes—conjunctivitis can be very infectious. If your child has red eyes, please give us a doctor’s note stating that your child is not infectious before they can come to school.

Department of Health requirements state that if a child has a fever (38C or above), or repeated diarrhea they need to stay home for at least 48 hours after the symptoms have subsided (without medication).

Even though your child’s fever may have gone, a child may still have a runny nose or bad cough and are not fit to return to school. Please keep them at home to rest.

Please do not send your child to school if they are still taking medication following an illness. The medicine may make your child sleepy and they still need time to recover and rest at home.

If your child has recovered but still has a mild cough (not chesty or coughing up phlegm), they may return to school but should wear a face mask.
