Attendance Policy Regarding COVID-19

In light of the increasing prevalence of COVID-19 cases in Singapore and the government’s latest protocols on living with COVID-19, the school would like to clarify its attendance policy for its students. 

  1. Social responsibility is key: We ask all parents and guardians to monitor your student’s health daily and ensure that students who exhibit flu-like symptoms (e.g. fever, cough, sore throat etc.) stay home and ART test. If there is a confirmed positive case in the household, please do ART test your student before sending them to school.

  2. Excused vs. unexcused absences: Please review the following table to determine your child’s eligibility for excused absences.

Excused Absence Unexcused Absence
  • Student tests positive for COVID-19*
  • Student tests negative for COVID-19 but is feeling unwell 

*Please note, your student may exit isolation if they test ART negative after the initial 72-hour window.
  • Student tests negative for COVID-19 and is asymptomatic 
  • Student tests negative for COVID-19, is asymptomatic, and lives with a confirmed positive COVID-19 case in the household 

Please refer to the Student Handbook (Section 3.5) for more information about the school’s attendance policy.
