我们一直在努力提醒学生此时IB理念的重要性，希望我们学生将展现自己作为IB学生的素质。

尊敬的各位家长,

自从上次在学校见面以来，过去的两个月对于SLIS大家庭的每一名成员，都充满挑战。我校非常感谢各位家长一直以来对学校教学工作的支持和理解。平心而论，让孩子在家中快乐健康地学习与成长，做到劳逸结合，其实并不容易。作为父亲，我感同身受。中国人民在特殊时期所做的巨大努力和付出的牺牲使我印象深刻，我完全理解在这种情况下采取严格措施的必要性。

在繁忙的深圳，大家都能执行严格的体温检查，消毒和保持社交距离等限制措施。作为一座科技城，深圳能通过快速检测以及遍布于各处的QR码来检测每个人在地铁，公交车，出租车上的健康动态，包括前往超市等人员聚集地的健康检测。中国社会一直是高效运转的，现在人们的工作生活已经逐渐恢复正常。这是特殊时期的正常做法，虽然需要谨慎，但相信大家肯定会努力工作，迎头赶上。人们会对未来充满信心。

我们热切地等待着开学的消息。同时，我们十分理解只有做足准备才可以开学。此外，我们将继续推行网络教学，我由衷钦佩身处世界各地的我校师生，在特殊时期能通过不同方式不间断的教学。目前，许多国家关闭了学校并开展网络学习。我们将继续通过收到的反馈来调整学校的网络学习计划，并希望通过在周三开展艺术与体育学习来平衡学生德智体美劳发展。

我们一直在努力提醒学生此时IB理念的重要性，希望我们学生将展现自己作为IB学生的素质。我们将继续在每周一开展远程升旗和神秘学生的活动。在这个特殊时期，无论在中国还是世界其它地方，IB学生所具备的素质显得尤为重要，如：关怀、有原则、平衡和开放的思想等。

我们期待着很快在学校与您再次见面。我们会与您时刻保持联系，并更新我们将采取的安全防范措施。再次感谢您对我们学校的支持。

Dear Parents,

I am sure all of our school community have found this a challenging time in the last 2 months – since we last met in school – and we are very thankful for your support and understanding throughout. We appreciate it is not easy to keep your kids entertained, healthy and happy when they are continuously at home. As a father, I have also found this challenging at times.

I have been very impressed by the incredible efforts and sacrifices that have been made in China and I completely understand the need for strict measures in the circumstances.

It is hugely reassuring in Shenzhen, in a busy city, to see the temperature checks, sanitizer and social distancing measures in place. It was also reassuring to see Shenzhen fulfilling its reputation as a city of high technology through fast detection and advanced treatment and the ubiquitous QR code coming into its own to monitor everyone’s movements on the metro, bus, taxi and visit to every crowded building such as the supermarket. China has been highly efficient. Now things are opening again and gradually returning to normal. It is a normal that is tempered with caution and the need for care but people are certainly returning to hard work and catch up. There is a sense of optimism for the future again.

We await, keenly, to hear on school opening and understand this needs to be very carefully considered. In the meantime, we continue with e-learning, and I continue to be amazed by the work of our teachers and students, along with other educators tackling this situation around the world. Now many countries have schools closed and are learning online. We will continue to reflect and adapt the programme with the feedback we receive, and we have looked to make the program more holistic and balanced through introducing an arts and PE day on Wednesday.

We continually look to remind the students of the importance of IB philosophy at this time and the IB learner profile attributes being displayed by our students. We continue with our flag raising and secret student, as its very important to recognize the importance of being caring, principled, balanced and open minded, along with all of the other attributes during this special time in China and throughout the world.

We look forward to seeing you face to face in school again soon. We will certainly be contacting you when it is time to start and explaining the health and security measures we will put in place. Once again thanks for your support for our school.
