Dear Parents/Students,

In the light of the COVID-19 outbreak and the subsequent directives by the State, Authorities
has led to the closure of schools is obstructing the learning of the students. We understand
the massive closures present a daunting challenge for parents and students, yet we would
seek your cooperation in the wake of this pandemic, to make this time productive and happy
for our students.

Aps Cambridge Studies has already switched to online learning to ensure that our students
get an excellent education even when they cannot be in the classroom. Therefore, in addition
to Google classroom which offers an asynchronous learning experience to students, we are
offer zoom as a main tool for our teachers to use in order to provide synchronous learning
sessions for all subjects at all levels. Zoom and Goggle classroom ids are attached below.

The school’s approach towards discipline is for every student to acquire self-discipline and be
responsible conduct so as to contribute to the overall well-being of all in the online classes.
Every child has the right to expect a conducive teaching and learning environment. Likewise,
every student has the responsibility to contribute to that environment. Kindly go thru the
online rules and follow them throughout the learning processes. Our expectation with you for
discipline and learning are very high

While we understand that online sessions could never replace the face-to-face presence
in the classroom, but at the same time it is important for our students to recognize that
the online class session, even in exceptional situations, is in fact a learning set ting which
requires seriousness.

Please ensure the 100% attendance of your ward in zoom classes and he/she is turning
in the assignments via Google Classroom with due dates.

In this period of transition, your patience and cooperation would be highly appre ciated.
