Dear parents, teachers and students,

‼️Starting from this Sunday February 12, the magnetic strips will be used on the door of every classroom by school staff.

📹Please find the detailed information of the magnetic strips from this video: https://youtu.be/DQ6snpfsJX0

This is a very important measure we are implementing to increase the safety of the students and teachers.

⚠️Please tell your child(ren)/students that the strips should not be removed during the school hours because the doors cannot be opened from outside once locked. The magnetic strips can only be removed during emergency and lockdown drills.

Thank you for your cooperation!
