EMMARENTIA PRIMARY SCHOOL

FOUNDATION PHASE PLAN FOR OPENING OF SCHOOL

Dear Parents/Guardians

We are eagerly counting down the days until we welcome our precious learners’ back to

Emmarentia Primary School and back into our classrooms. We would like to take this

opportunity to extend our gratitude and to acknowledge your undeniable dedication and

commitment toward your child during this time away from school.

The Covid-19 pandemic has created a world of uncertainty whilst proving incredibly

overwhelming for parents, learners and teachers alike. We at EPS would like to thank each of

you for your patience and understanding of the challenges brought on by this pandemic. We

humbly ask for your continued support and consideration for just a bit longer as we attempt

to make this transition back to school a smooth one.

BACK TO SCHOOL SAFETY PLAN

We have divided the classes from Grade 1 to Grade 3 alphabetically into two groups and each

group will attend school twice a week. This plan is subject to change.

BENEFITS TO LEARNERS:

• Reduces class size and allows physical distancing.

• School staff can observe the Covid-19 protocols more effectively.

• Monitoring of learning is more efficient.

• Allows for regular follow-up and consolidation of new concepts.
