Dear parents,
HFMD Preventive Measures
You would have read in the papers that HFMD cases are on the rise in Singapore. As a school, we have been taking preventive measures to keep HFMD at bay, and we will need your support in this.
Can you please ensure that your child/ward has a working thermometer and that he/she should bring it to school every day as we will be conducting temperature checks on a daily basis. Please include a packet of tissue paper as well. We will also be conducting checks to look out for symptoms of HFMD, such as a fever, sores in the mouth and blisters on the hands. Can you also help look out for these symptoms in your child and if he/she is not well, do keep them at home and take them to see
a doctor.
We thank you for helping us keep our children safe.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs Chaillan Mui Tuan
