Dear Brent Families,
Now that we are back to General Community Quarantine (GCQ),
several school employees will be on campus to assist in handing out
materials starting Thursday, August 27. Please see the chart below for the day
to visit Brent, according to the surname of your student/s. Please also check
for any government announcements that may affect your schedule.
One (1) representative of your family should come prepared to pick up
materials that have been prepared for your student/s. At the same time you may
return books and other materials, pay fees, or pick up Ganzas. Please
take special note, students are still not permitted on campus as they
are classified as youth and not permitted by the governing authorities to leave
their household for non-essential reasons under GCQ guidelines.
In allowing individuals to come to school during this time we have
developed strict guidelines to help deter the spread of COVID-19.
1. No
face shield, no entry. The IATF has made face shields mandatory.
2. No
mask, No entry. Wear face masks at all times. When wearing a facemask, make
sure to wear, use, and discard it properly.
3. Temperature
checks. Temperature = / > 37.5 will be isolated and rechecked after 5
minutes. Individuals with a high temperature will not be permitted on campus.
4. Practice
social distancing. When in line, and whenever in the presence of others, keep
at a distance no less than 1 meter from front, side, and back, at all times;
5. Disinfectant.
Step on the provided doormat with disinfectant before entering the school
premises. Sanitize your hands often.

proper respiratory etiquette;

8:30am to 4:30pm, closed for lunch, and adjusted as needed.
Return of School Materials (Books, etc.)
We will be utilizing the school cafeteria for collecting materials for those
who still need to make returns. Please follow directions when you arrive on
campus.
Ganzas
For returning students, the Ganzas are also ready for pick up.
If you cannot send a representative to school for some reason, let the school
level secretary know, and we will attempt to deliver materials at a later date.
We are still assessing how best to support students outside of Metro Manila or
the Philippines. Don¡¯t worry if you are unable to get materials right away.
Teachers will be able to run classes with only digital materials for at least
the first two weeks, and we will be flexible as needed.
Sincerely,
Jason Atkins
Headmaster
Brent International School Manila
