Health, Safety and Discipline
Health and safety of all children is a matter of deep concern and prime importance to parents and all of us at ‘NEXT EDUCATION’ and DIS JUBAIL.
Cleaning and Sanitation
- We firmly believe that regular cleaning decreases the spread of illness and germs.
- General housekeeping chores are a part of the daily routine of supporting staff.
- All equipment is cleaned periodically and pest control is conducted at regular intervals to sanitize the environment.
illness and isolation
- Presence of children suffering from infectious ailments may result in an outbreak of an epidemic in the entire school.
- At the first signs of rash, fever or any other serious ailment, the child should be medically examined and sent to school only on the advice of a doctor.
- During recovery from an infectious ailment, the child should be quarantined at home as advised by the doctor.
- A medical fitness certificate should be submitted to the school office for resumption of studies.
- The child will be examined by a staff member before being allowed to join the class.
- In the interest of everyone concerned, the school reserves the right to deny permission to a student suffering or convalescing from any such disease to attend class.
- In the event of a child feeling ill during school hours, parents will be notified.
- In case of an emergency the school may contact the school's 'Doctor on call' for advice / first aid.
Head Lice
Head lice is often a common problem with many children and cause itching and irritation to them (which leads to distraction in class). Also, head lice are easily transmitted from one person to another. We request parents to check children’s hair at regular intervals and take precautionary steps.
Sick Bay
- The sick bay has a full time qualified nurse/physician-on-call to attend to children if required.
- If any medication is administered to your child, a notification will be made.
- If the child is allergic to any food or drug, parents are expected to keep the school updated regarding the child’s medical records.
Medicine Administration
- If a child requires any medicines to be administered during school hours, please inform the school administrator in writing.
- No verbal requests will be considered.
Holidays
- All bank holidays are school holidays unless declared otherwise.
- All holidays will be declared at the discretion of the school.
- Certain special events may be conducted on holidays. In such an event, the day succeeding the program may be declared a holiday.
Emergency Alerts
- For reasons purely beyond our control, emergency alerts being sent from the school through SMS are not reaching parents at times. All such emergency announcements are uploaded on the school website as a matter of course and sent as ‘Notifications’ on the school portal.
- In case of unforeseen weather conditions, any last-minute announcements from the government, administration, or any such unpredictable contingency or whenever in doubt, parents may kindly visit the school website and check on the ‘Alerts’ link on Home page.
Emergency Closing
- In case of any civil disturbance, or an emergency, do not send your child to school.
- Should an emergency occur during school hours, the students will remain on campus.
- Students will be handed over only to a parent / guardian / person carrying valid bearer cards.
- Please contact the school authorities for a Communication matrix in times of Emergency.
Building Security
Security of children is one of the top most priorities for us. We appoint security guards from well-known registered agencies. A well-trained security guard is always posted at the school gate. The guard is also trained by the school authorities tofamiliarize him/her with the DISJ rules and regulations.
Fire Drill
- A fire drill will be conducted on a regular basis to ensure speedy evacuation of all children in case of an emergency.
- A chart showing the route to be followed in emergency will be displayed on all floors.
