YCIS Beijing is Preparing for Reopening | 北京耀中正在为复课做准备

Although there has been no official statement from the local education authorities about when schools are scheduled to reopen, the Yew Chung International School of Beijing with the tireless work from our SMD Department has been preparing for the day. The safety of our students and staff remain the top priority and many decisions will continue to be made with that in mind. 

虽然当地教育部门还没有关于学校何时复课的官方声明，但是北京耀中国际学校在我们校务部的不懈努力下已经为这一天做好了准备。我们的学生和工作人员的安全仍然是最重要的，考虑到这一点，我们将推出一系列的举措。

With no student presence on campus, the SMD department whose role is to ensure the smooth day – to - day operations of the school has been planning all the logistics to ensure students return to a safe school environment. “Although we are working from home, all the preparations strictly follow the rules and regulations set by the School, local Food and Drug Administration, Beijing Emergency Management Bureau and Honglingjin Park.”, declared Delia Wang, Head of SMD.

由于校园内没有学生，负责确保学校日常运行的校务部已计划好所有后勤工作，以确保学生返回安全的校园环境。“虽然我们是在家里工作，但所有的准备工作都严格遵守学校、当地食品药品监督管理局、北京市应急管理局和红领巾公园制定的规章制度。”校务部主管王京洁女士声明。

All items being purchased and are ready for use consist of protective gear, tents, temperature sensors, goggles, alcohol-based hand sanitizer, UV sterilizer for the academic team, UV document disinfection cabinet and disinfected foot mat amongst others.

所有购买并且准备就绪的物品包括防护装备、帐篷、体温感测器、护目镜、酒精洗手液、给学术团队使用的紫外线消毒机、紫外线文件消毒柜和消毒脚垫等。

In addition to the gathering of all necessary products and equipment, the department has also been disinfecting school premises daily with a plan to intensify the process closer to the reopening of schools. Once school resumes Miss Wang reassured us that “We will ensure that public areas are disinfected every two hours, such as doorways, floor mats, doorknobs, banisters, etc., and keep records. We will also ensure that the temperature of the school staff is monitored twice a day and recorded.”, all administered by a certified company.

除了购买所有必要的商品和设备外，校务部还每天对校舍进行消毒，计划在复课前加强消毒工作。王女士再次向我们保证，开学后，“我们将确保公共区域每两小时消毒一次，如门口、脚垫、门把手、栏杆等，并做好记录。”我们亦会确保每天两次测量教职员工的体温，并记录在案。”这些全部由经认证的公司执行。

As with teachers and the rest of the community that is dealing with the effects of COVID-19, the SMD department has had to deal with challenges during this time of uncertainty, such as revisiting school policies and adjusting documents that relate to giving access to the campus and ensuring that all products are received.

与老师和社区其他成员应对新冠肺炎带来的影响一样,校务部不得不应对这一充满不确定性的时期所带来的挑战,如重新审视学校政策和调整出入校园相关的文件,并确保收到所有已采购的商品。

The team has also had to “Learn about the regulations and other documents issued by the headquarters and local government, make our own emergency plan accordingly, including school gate control, campus cleaning, air conditioning operation, cafeteria work guide, emergency plan and school bus emergency plan.” said Miss Wang.

校务部还必须“了解总部和当地政府发布的规定和其他文件，并据此制定我们自己的应急预案，包括:校园门禁、校园清洁、空调运转、食堂工作指导、应急预案和校车应急预案。”王女士说道。

Once her colleagues have reviewed all documents they will be assessed before the school’s reopening. This is all to ensure that every party is cognizant of what steps to take in the case of an emergency.

她的同事们修订完所有文件后，这些文件将在返校前被重新评估。这一切是为了确保相关人员都能了解到在紧急情况下应该采取什么措施。

Miss wang concludes by saying “After school reopens, we will devote more manpower to check everyone’ temperature when coming in and out of the campus at the gate, so as to ensure that every student’s temperature is monitored and recorded.”

王女士总结道:“复课后，我们会投入更多的人力来检查每个人进出校园大门时的体温，以确保每个学生的体温都被监控和记录。”

Times like these tend to also bring communities together, which is what we saw with campuses within our group. Parents have shown support in many ways such as through donating masks and hand sanitisers, reinforcing our community’s Misson of nurturing people with servants’ hearts, whoa spire to, and act for, a better world.

像这样的时刻往往也能够增强社区凝聚力，这是我们在校园中所看到的。家长们在很多方面都表现出了支持，比如捐赠口罩和洗手液，践行了我们社区的使命，以公仆之心育人，为追求一个更美好的世界而奋斗。如欲了解家长们是如何做出贡献的，请点击这里。
