School Closing Announcement

Dear WICS Parents,

Thank you for your understanding this past week as we have modified our schedule to combat the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) 

and influenza.

As you may know, the Japanese government has now recommended that all schools close to prevent further spread of infection.  

In accordance with this recommendation, WICS will be closing the school building from Monday, March 2^nd, until the end of spring break.  

We hope to return to school on Monday, March 30^th.

Although we will not be able to meet at school during this time, teachers will continue to post lectures and assignments on Schoology

and student emails (Grade1-3) for students to complete from home.

These online assignments will affect students’ overall grades just like any other assignment.  

Teachers will update assignments regularly, so please make sure your children are checking Schoology and email every day.

We will do everything we can to support the students as they work from home these next three weeks.  

Please help us by making sure that your child is completing his/her homework and submitting it on time.

Please be sure to let us know if the students and family are going to trips abroad or within Japan.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Please stay safe during this season of illness. 

保護者各位

平素より、WICSの教育・方針にご理解とご協力賜りありがとうございます。

先日より、新型コロナウイルス（COVID-19）とインフルエンザの感染拡大に対処するために行っておりました短縮授業において、

この1週間多大なご理解をいただき感謝しております。

報道等で日本政府は先日、感染拡大を防ぐため全国の学校を一時閉鎖することを要請いたしました。この要請に従い、

当校も3月2日（月）から春休みの終わりまで一時閉鎖し自宅学習とします。 現時点では3月30日（月）に再開する見込みです。

この期間、学校で会うことはできませんが教師は、生徒が自宅で学習できるように、Schoologyと学生のメールアドレスを通した講義と課題を引き続き掲載します。

何よりも、皆様のご健康が守られますことを心よりお祈り申し上げます。 

ご理解とご協力いただきますよう、よろしくお願いいたします。
