Dear Parents,
­

In order for your child to be able to attend LFIP from Thursday, September 2, 2021, it is necessary to respect a certain number of obligations imposed by the Beijing educational authorities. There are several situations depending on the trips your child has done between Saturday, July 3, 2021 and the start of classes.
­

There are four different situations on the first day of school in order to access LFIP
­

Situation 1
­

Your child stayed in the Beijing municipal area between Saturday, July 3, 2021 and the start of school. He/she will be able to go back to school if you provide the following 4 documents:

1) On the first day of school, when boarding the school bus or at the door of the school, your child will have to provide a paper copy of the twice-daily temperature record sheet taken during the 14 days preceding the start of school. You will find this form to be printed in attachment.

2) On the first day of school, when boarding the school bus or at the door of the school, your child will also have to provide the daily temperature record form in paper format. You will find this form to print in the attachment.

You must upload the negative PCR test result before 6pm, the day before your child starts school, so that we can process the information in the evening and inform the school transport staff or the reception staff at the school the next morning. In order to avoid errors, as we expect a very large number of results, no PCR test results received by email will be processed by the health department.

If your child has not been present for at least 14 days in the Pekin municipality on the day he/she starts school, he/she must wait until he/she has completed the 14-day school absence period before coming to LFIP. Once the 14-day school absence period is over, your child will be placed in situation B.

The entry in the school on the first day of the school year is conditional to the respect of all these measures.

What are the rules to follow every day after school starts in order to enter LFIP?

After school starts, each day, when boarding the school bus or at the door of the school, your child will have to provide the daily temperature record sheet in paper format, taken that day. You will find this form to be printed in attachment.
