6. Safety Management in Lakeside
In light of the evolving COVID-19 situation, we have put in place precautionary
measures in our school to keep our students safe. The posters below and on
the next page have been put up in the classrooms and school to remind the
students of the good hygiene protocols. We encourage parents to take your
child’s/ward’s temperature at home before sending him/her to school. We seek
the cooperation of all parents to ensure that their children who are unwell and/or
displaying flu-like symptoms such as fever and/or cough, runny nose, sore
throat and breathing difficulties should see the doctor promptly and remain at
home until they recover fully. Children who come to school despite being unwell
may be sent home.

Unity

 I dreamed I stood in a studio
 And watched two sculptors there,
 The clay they used was a young child's mind
 And they fashioned it with care.

 One was a teacher; the tools she used
 were books and music and art;
 One was a parent with a guiding hand
 and a gentle, loving heart.

 And when at last their work was done
 They were proud of what they had wrought.
 For the things they had worked into the child
 Could never be sold or bought.

 And each agreed she would have failed
 if she had worked alone.
 For behind the parent stood the school,
 And behind the teacher stood the home.

 By Ray A. Lingenfelter
