DOS Update: HIS Campus Closed during All February

DOS Update: HIS Closed during All February

Dear HIS Families,

HIS has just received confirmation from the Zhejiang provincial government and Hangzhou Municipal Education Bureau (HEB) that all schools (state, private, and international) will not be able to open our campuses prior to the end of February. We agree this is the safest decision given the CNY travel effect on the outbreak. To be clear:

HIS Campus will be closed ALL February due to government advisory.

HIS has been preparing for this contingency and will continue to move forward with robust e-learning platforms and tools during the school closure period. I want to thank the students, faculty and parents for making this virtual learning a successful launch in its first week. You should know that, by last Monday, we had over 95% of our Chinese and expat faculty in Hangzhou ready to open at the earliest date. We are committed to re-opening the school campus and will be prepared to do so as soon as possible. However, with such an extension of school closure, we are accepting that some parents may choose to shelter in another country during this time period.

Over the next few weeks, we are sure there will be some movements of families. Please be advised that the HEB will be requesting travel data regarding the whereabouts of HIS student families. Please complete the survey data when requested and provide the school with an update if your plans change.

In times of uncertainty such as this, it is important that we continue to support one another, share information, and continue to strengthen our HIS community. Thank you for your continued understanding and partnership as we move forward.
 

杭州国际学校刚刚得到浙江省教育厅的通知,所有的学校不得在2月底之前开学。我们同意这是最有效地可以在中国新年期间控制疫情的办法。请知悉:


杭州国际学校二月不开学


学校一直在为可能会发生的突发事件作准备。在学校停课期间我们继续推出网上学习平台。我真诚地感谢同学们,老师们以及家长们成功地让第一周的网上学习顺利开展。我们希望大家了解,截止上周五,我们95%的教职工都已经做好了要开学的准备,但随着情况的变化,我们也需要作出积极调整。


在这个特殊时间,我们需要向政府部门提供老师及学生在这一段时间之内的去过城市/国家。稍后我们会发送调查问卷,请大家协助完成。


感谢大家可以在这个非常时期互相支持,分享信息,加强HIS COMMUNITY这个大家庭之间的连接。感谢各位家长继续跟我们在一起共渡难关。

Sincerely,

Jeffry R. Stubbs
