  6. What can Parents do at home?
    • Keeping yourself and the environment clean

    • Do not share eating utensils with other people
    • Avoiding children's contact with sick people to keep children healthy
    • Continue to apply COVID-19 health protocols such as wearing masks, maintaining distance and reducing mobility.

In addition to the COVID-19 Protocol, CBCS continues to implement health protocols in terms of managing shared eating utensils such as plates, spoons, and forks. Our Kitchen Staff keep using hot water to soak or wash the cutlery used by students and employees. We also open up opportunities if parents want to bring spoons and forks for their children to have lunch at school, as parents in grade 1 and grade 2 SD have done so far.

Thus the information from us and for your attention. Thank you.

Keep healthy!
