Coronavirus Pandemic – A Letter to the Parents of GIS

Description: My dear parents of Greenoak International School (GIS),

I wish to use this medium to bring to your notice a matter of importance in this very unusual time in the history of the world.
Currently, due to the ravaging coronavirus pandemic, many of our parents may be working from home.
This situation is made more challenging by the presence of very young children who are forced to be home.‎
To ease this unwelcome challenge, GIS has put certain measures in place to ease the burden of parents and help our students.

Our dedicated teachers will provide both live online lessons to a whole class and when necessary to individual students.
The infrastructure for this mode of teaching and learning is available in GIS.
The student‘s work will be marked by the respective teachers.

Our students will observe the Easter break as per our adjusted academic calendar.
The online whole class lessons by our dedicated teachers will recommence after our Easter break.

I hope you were able to read my article ‘FAMILY INTERACTION IN A DIGITAL WORLD’.
in our online end of term Newsletter, (Secondary Campus).
I mentioned the report from the January 20th 2010 Survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation, Washington DC.
This survey reported that some Generation M2, children (children age 8 to 18 years) spend an average of 7 and a half hours to 10 hours a day on media entertainment.
In order to avoid such a waste of time, GIS will ensure our students are meaningfully engaged with their school work.
Children learn fast and forget fast too.
This is why we must engage them with our online teaching.

Finally, I humbly plead with our parents to cooperate with GIS during this unusual time.
Please help to ensure that our online teaching and learning is taken seriously by our students in each home.
With God on our side, Nigeria and indeed the world will defeat the coronavirus and hopefully, our lives will return to normal.

Thanks to all our parents and their families for your usual cooperation.

May God protect us all.
Lady Roseline Efolomo John, MD, CEO.
