Prevention of Infection「Not required」

– Check  temperature「Not required」

We have been conducting temperature checks for all persons, including our staff, students, and the general public, when entering and exiting the school building, but we will discontinue this practice. If the temperature is 37.5°C or higher before entering the building or if you have symptoms such as a cough or runny nose (even if you do not have a fever), you will not be allowed to participate or enter the building on that day.

Prevention of Infection「Continuation」

– Hand washing  Continuation

We will continue to ensure that everyone, including our staff, students, and the general public, wash their hands or disinfect their fingers when entering and exiting the school building.

– Usage of Paper Towels Continuation

After washing their hands, single-use paper towels are used in order to prevent the spread of germs.

– Lunch ・ Snack time  Continuation

Tables will have space between students, and acrylic panels will continue to be used as partitions to prevent spreading germs.

– Ventilation  Continuation

In order to keep the teaching spaces ventilated with fresh air, doors or windows are kept open during hours of use.

Classrooms are regularly disinfected several times in places that are frequently touched by students and teachers, including but not limited to toys, books, and handrails. The inside of the shuttle buses are also disinfected in between every use.
