ISB Update: 28 October 2021
Dear ISB Community,
Campus Reopening Update
We have requested permission from the Nonthaburi Government to welcome 100% of students on campus each day, beginning Monday 8th November. We will be in touch as soon as we know more.
Student Vaccination Survey
Recently, many ISB students in the 12-18 age range have been vaccinated.
We will be asking all parents to complete an additional question on the ATK Form this coming Sunday to inform us of student vaccination status.
We anticipate that high vaccination rates among students in grades 7-12 will allow for greater activity and athletics participation in this age range.
Distribution of ATKs
We will be providing additional supplies of ATKs next week. They will be distributed to students on Wednesday 3rd and Thursday 4th November. Please be sure to check with your children after school on these days. Your current supply should be sufficient until 12th November and the refill will give families enough ATKs until after the Winter Break.
In the event that a student is not at school to receive the ATKs, please email nurse@isb.ac.th to arrange pick up.
ATK Testing – Important
A reminder that ATK testing now takes place on Sundays and Wednesdays between 4:00pm and 8:00pm – with results uploaded on the ATK Form within that same timeframe (regardless of which days your child will attend school on campus). If you need assistance with the ATK Form, please write to help@isb.ac.th
Community Cases
We have been made aware of recent COVID cases among household staff working with two ISB families. The families have followed up with PCR testing and no parent or student has tested positive. This is a reminder to all of us to continue to follow the strictest COVID prevention practices possible.
