Upper Primary Temperature check When requested by the school, parents should take their children’s temperature before they go to school each day. If children have a fever, a temperature higher than 37.5ºC or 99.5ºF, they should not come to school. We ask that students be fever-free for 48 hours before coming back to school.

RULES AND GUIDELINES Dragons Follow the 4Bs: As students represent HKIS both in school and out, their conduct should exemplify the 4Bs. This extends to behavior while waiting at bus stops, on public buses, and in taxi cabs.

Our uniforms identify us and we want to represent HKIS as best we can.

Be KIND Be SAFE Be RESPECTFUL Be RESPONSIBLE Before School: 1. In the morning, students arriving between 7:15-7:40 a.m. should to go designated areas as follows: Grade 5: 1/F Gym; Grade 4: 7th and 8th Floor Indoor Playground; Grade 3: 6/F Multi-purpose Room. At 7:45 a.m., all students will be sent to their homerooms.

2. After 7:45 a.m., all students should report directly to their homeroom classes.

All students will need to be registered as a bus rider or walker at the start of the year.

Identifying tags are fixed to students’ backpacks and indicate to teachers how students are going home on a daily basis. Walkers should arrive at school from 7:40 a.m. onwards.

After School: 1. Instruction ends at 2:50 p.m.

2. Students leave the building as directed by their teachers.

3. Bus riders go directly across the bridge to Lower Primary where all buses will be staged.

4. All students are to leave the school building by 3 p.m., except those participating in our After School Activities program or whose parent has received permission from the teacher. Please note that parents must submit a written request for permission.

5. Students dismissing from 3 p.m. after-school activities should follow the same bus procedures for the 4 p.m. buses.

Please note: Walkers must display their walker passes and leave school at dismissal time unless involved in after-school activities. UP walkers will be picked up at the LP main entrance.
