Important Updates from SYAS in View of the Current COVID-19 Virus Situation
Dear Parents/ Guardians,
1. Appreciation
Once again, we would like to express our heartfelt thanks in your cooperation to make San Yu Adventist School (SYAS) as safe as possible in the current COVID-19 virus outbreak situation. Many, if not all of you, exercised social responsibility by keeping your child/ward at home when he/she showed flu-like symptoms. Thank you for also reminding your child/ward to be responsible in masking wearing and to wash his/her hands frequently in order to maintain a high standard of hygiene. We strongly encourage all our students to take their temperature daily and monitor their health.
SYAS will continue to adhere to the Singapore Government’s regulations and guidelines so as to continue to provide a conducive learning environment for all students. We seek your continued understanding to bear with any inconvenience for the benefit of the community.
2. Home-based Learning (HBL) in Week 10 (24, 25 and 27 May)
- All students will be placed on HBL in Term 2 Week 10 – Monday, Tuesday and Thursday only.
- Lesson plan for the week can be viewed on Monday, 24 May, from 7.30am onwards via the ASKnLearn portal: https://lms.asknlearn.com/SYAS/login.aspx
- Form teachers will mark attendance at 8am via Zoom and carry out contact time till 8.20am, thereafter, students will follow their normal timetable.
3. Parent-Teacher Conference (PTC) on 28 May
- PTC will be carried out via Zoom. Parents and guardians may check their bookings and converse with form and subject teachers according to their appointments.
4. Term 2 Progress Report
- Term 2 progress reports will be emailed to parents/ guardians on Thursday, 27 May, by 4pm. Please take note that the marks are subjected to minor amendments as students will only check their exam scripts when they return to school in Term 3. We strongly encourage students to work on their weaker subjects during the June holidays.
- All students will receive their official progress reports in hard copy in Term 3 Week 1, Friday, 2 July.
5. Travel Plans during the June Holidays
- All students are to declare/ update their travel plans in a transparent and truthful manner via this link by Friday, 21 May, 4pm: https://lms.asknlearn.com/SYAS/login.aspx
- We have been informed of the following for your attention and necessary follow-up:
- In view of the worsening situation globally, Singapore will further tighten our border measures for travellers with recent travel history to higher risk countries/regions*, and reduce entry approvals for non-Singapore Citizens/ Permanent Residents with immediate effect.
- Students must obtain an entry approval via the SafeTravel application portal (https://eservices.ica.gov.sg/STO) before travelling to Singapore. If they are unable to find an entry date in the SafeTravel portal, they should defer their travel plans until the situation has stabilised.
- Border/health control measures may change at short notice, depending on the COVID-19 situation abroad and the assessed risk of importation from arriving travellers. Travellers with prior entry approval may have their approvals rescinded according to the prevailing COVID-19 situation. If this occurs, affected travellers will be contacted and refunded the fees paid. They may consider re-applying for entry into Singapore on a different date, or deferring their travel plans until the situation has stabilised.
6. Primary 6 and Secondary 4 Matters
- The government allows graduating class students to be in SYAS for remedial/supplementary classes during the June holiday. Thus, SYAS teachers will conduct supplementary lessons for our primary 6 and secondary 4 students during the first week of the June holidays. Details will be released soon.
- The O Level Chinese examination will be held in SYAS according to SEAB’s schedule on Monday, 31 May 2021.
7. SYAS Website
Please refer to the school website for latest updates regularly, especially during the June school holidays where the teaching staff may not be available.
8. Contact Information
Parents or guardians with concerns can contact the respective form teachers or email the school at
[email protected]. SYAS office will remain open during the HBL and June holidays.
Thank you, once again, for your vigilance, care and concern shown towards your child/ward and SYAS. May God’s healing and protection be with us always. Stay safe.
Best Regards,
SYAS Administration
