AFAC / ATAC
A sincere thank you for ensuring a smooth start to our Elementary After School Activities program
as well as our ATAC competitive teams program. Your on-going support in making sure we are
notified if your child will not be attending their activity on a particular day is
appreciated. Equally, thank you for supporting our after school protocols and ensuring that our
campus is a safe place for all our students. These protocols are located here for your reference.
From the Clinic - Head Lice Checks
This week we have started our first of four regular head lice checks. We know that anyone is
susceptible to head lice, but children in an Elementary school setting are more susceptible. Head
lice is easily spread through head-to-head contact.
Our checks involve one of our nurses visiting every classroom in the Elementary school and
individually checking each student. In the event that a student is found to have head lice, they
will be personally contacted by the Clinic (in confidence) and also sent information regarding
treatment. Should there be two or more cases within a particular class, all students in that class
will receive a generic letter regarding treatment and raising awareness.
Should you have any question about our program please get in touch with our Clinic administrator
Dorothee Binsfeld (8408580 or BinsfeldD@ismanila org)
Have a wonderful long weekend.
