Examples of care for students
1. During HBL period, there was daily check in for students to express their concerns and teachers used SLS for journal writing. Teachers also gave CarePAC for students to encourage them. Teachers assured students that they would work with them when everyone is back in school to reduce their stress and calm them down. Teachers gave students more time to complete their work.
2. In school during HBL period, the team in school looked out for the high-need students who required more support and who were in distress. Cheryl was there to check with them on what happened and communicate it with Teachers and parents. Also after they had completed their homework, activities were prepared for them (eg art and craft, educational videos etc), so that they were not left with nothing to do. There was a lot of positive reinforcement and encouragement to do their work.
3. In school, there are daily routines like temperature taking, reminding students to do wipe down and checking on their family members.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Good effort in opening up time slots for students with high needs to come to school during FHBL, support for parents.

2. Loan devices to students - to ensure students can continue their learning - support for parents

3. Staggered zoom live lessons - help parents to coordinate at home, especially for those with siblings or only one device

4. Teachers communicate with parents via different modes to keep them informed of information during HBL - parents do appreciate it as they will know exactly how to help their children at home
