We are excited to have our students on campus this school year, and to operate a full schedule. The health and safety of our students and staff continues to be our priority. In alignment with Azerbaijani government regulations and based on the current pandemic situation, we have revised some of our Health and Safety protocols related to COVID-19 for the 21-22 school year.

Our Health and Safety Plan is guided by the following principles:

• The health and well-being of our students, staff and community will always be our priority.

• TISA will follow the directives of the Azerbaijani Government and BP Occupational Health.

• TISA will review guidance from the WHO, CDC and ECDC.

• TISA will consult the experiences of CEESA schools and best practices of international schools around the world.

Our primary control measures to restrict virus occurrence and transmission on campus are physical distancing, use of PPE, temperature measurements, observation for symptoms and enhanced personal and campus hygiene.

We have limited the number of students per room to ensure physical distancing, including coordinating and minimising the mixing of students before and after school.

Each division of the school coordinates a schedule and guidelines according to the ages, learning needs and facility use of those grade levels as appropriate.

While we are excited to welcome everyone back to on campus full time for the 2021-22 school year, we recognise the possibility of the pandemic situation necessitating us to change instructional models and are prepared to move to online Distance Learning should regulations require.

Students, parents and staff returning to the country are required to complete the self-quarantine regulations, if applicable, as determined by the Azerbaijani government.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We recognise there is a full range of personal opinions regarding COVID-19 and its contagion, risk or potential impact, and that we have a shared responsibility to mitigate the risks of transmission so that we can be on campus together, learning, and healthy.
