Dear Parents,

Regarding :  GMIS In-Campus classes update-II.

Greetings from GMIS Semarang.

We sincerely hope that you are keeping well in these Corona times and taking good care of all nears and dears. The Covid-19 Task Force said that in Indonesia, numbers of weekly active cases are dropping consistently since beginning of August. Currently until 9^th August, Level 4 risk alert applies across Java and Bali including Semarang city.

To start classes at school campus, we need to reach at PPKM Level 2, when there will be no confirmed cases for at least two weeks, as per the recent communication.  In view of this, the in-campus classes for all students are further postponed to 20^th August 2021. We hope the situation to improve in the days to come before inviting all teachers & students to school for face to face classes.

We thank you for your continued patience and support during these unprecedented times. We shall be sharing any updated information, as we receive it.

After submitting all the papers needed to the relevant authorities, they plan to visit our school this week, to further guide us about safety of students and teachers , while in campus. In view of the Emergency PPKM measures released on 01^st July, we need to work on our action plans and response, accordingly.

In order to wait for Covid-19 to subside, the in-campus classes, which were originally scheduled for Thursday, July 15^th 2021, are being moved to Monday, August 9^th 2021. This way we can ensure that our students, teachers and staff are safe.

We have arranged orientation sessions, to inform parents and students more about the start of the next academic year, as per the schedule below.

School will start functioning virtually from 15^th July 2021 for all students as per the schedule. Class teacher will be in contact with the students with more details. As earlier, all virtual classes will be integrated with EduPage, so as to allow our students to join them with ease.

Dear Parents,

Greetings from GMIS Semarang.

We sincerely hope that you are coping well with these corona times and not letting your guard down in dealing with the pandemic. There is hope in the form of vaccines and the process has started but may take time before we are able to live as we were before the pandemic. During the drive by the government to inoculate all teachers over the last two months, most of our teachers and staff have already received both Covid-19 jabs.

Pandemic Update

The local government authorities have prepared extensive plan to open the school from July 2021 and we have submitted all the necessary documents required for their information, approval and further guidance.

Dear Parents,

Greetings from GMIS Semarang.

I hope you all are well as we continue to face circumstances that have challenged everyone around us. As GMIS family, we have come together throughout the academic year 2020-21 and persevered through difficult times.

School has decided to go ahead with Blended / Hybrid learning as the method to teach our children from July, when the new school year starts. Blended learning combines the two teaching environments—traditional face-to-face classroom teaching and technology based online learning. Using this method of learning, we can engage students who learn better in a face-to-face interaction with a teacher, and also those who learn better with technology based learning.

In consultation with the relevant stakeholders, a tentative schedule has been worked out which will be effective for July and August 2021 on trial basis. Students will be having a mix of online, as well as offline classes throughout the week. A glimpse of planned school (Tentative) timings for face to face classes is as follows:

School is ready to open for in-campus classes with all prevailing health protocols in place which are constantly being upgraded as per the guidance from relevant authorities. Most of our school faculty and staff have already been vaccinated against coronavirus.

The detailed class time table will be shared with you by the supervisors before the holidays, through EduPage.

We will be contacting all parents in the beginning of July 2021, for your approval to permit your children to attend in-campus classes. In case you are not comfortable in sending your children to school, we have made arrangements to stream live, the in campus class online too, so as not to disadvantage any student. If everything works well, we will be starting regular full day school from September onwards.

We will see the effectiveness of this schedule for a couple of weeks and if needed, will be adjusting / extending the number of classes being held at campus for all grades.

Any feedback / suggestions in this regard are welcome.

Thank you once again for your support as always.

With best regards.
