School Closure Information

Cairo 27. 10. 2009
Dear Parents and Pupils of the Sunshine Unit
Today we received from the authorities the order to close the school due to two swine flu cases among pupils of the NRC.
The school will be closed for 15 days. After this period the authorities will decide about further procedures.

In order to facilitate learning for our pupils we have prepared assignments in Arabic, mathematics, English and reading. Each pupil will receive a folder with his/her personal assignments. We have tried to prepare the work in the way that the worksheets could be managed by the students alone. In case of difficulties with the assignments or in case of need for further explanation, students can contact the teachers daily from 9:00 – 13:00 per Internet. We installed for all students an E-mail account which we have written in their assignment books. We will post any news on our blog.

Miss Mary will coordinate the Internet work and she will help the students to open a Skype-account in order to be able to communicate with their teachers. To be able to use Skype you need earphones, microphone and a camera installed in your PC.

We will send to you as well a telephone list of all students that you have the chance to keep in touch.
In order to increase the immunity of your children make sure that they get good long sleeping hours, that they eat plenty of fruits and vegetables in order to have a good supply of Vitamins and Minerals. Keep away from Junk food and sweets. Provide them with fresh cooked healthy food. Avoid crowded places and contact with sick people. Try to be out in fresh air as much as possible.
I hope for all of you to stay healthy and I hope that this problem will pass soon for all of us. In case of any questions or problems feel free to contact me or any member of the team.
Thank you for your collaboration in this difficult situation.
Regards
Margarethe Wissmann-Darwish
