It includes a message from the Managing Director covering digital education via Microsoft Teams, exam paper re-attempts and digital report release, as well as holiday guidance and remote learning resources. It also outlines Cambridge examination cancellations and future scheduling, and highlights International Women’s Day celebrations on campus.","M A R C H 2 0 2 0 I S S U E N O . 1 3  \nIN THE LOOP  \nTHE OFFICIAL NEWSLETTER OF CRAWFORD INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL  \nSPECIAL ISSUE  \nMESSAGE FROM THE MANAGING DIRECTOR 1  \nCELEBRATING WOMEN (INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S 5  \nDAY)  \nSTUDENT STAY-AT-HOME CARE PACKAGE 10  \nMESSAGE FROM THE MANAGING DIRECTOR  \nBy Jenn y Coe tzee  \nDear Parents and Guardians  \nThe saying “Change is the only constant” holds true for this time where the world is trying to come to terms with the effects of the Covid 19 virus. Each time one engages with the media one is bombarded with news, good and bad. Every time I’ve had to cope with uncertainty, I have felt that the best thing to I can do is to try and keep what is familiar as constant as possible.  \nWhen President Uhuru Kenyatta made the announcement to close schools, our staff went into immediate refresher-training to deliver education digitally. The response over the last two weeks from many of our parents, students and teachers has been very positive. When there have been problems, the teachers and the IT group have tried their best to troubleshoot and find a resolution once alerted.  \nAll students in Year 4-11 should have received a copy of their exam papers, of which they were asked to re-attempt and then mark according to the memo sent. This would give them a fair idea of having gone through the exam paper and correcting what they had gotten wrong. Thereafter classes (KG – Year 11) were taught digitally by either face to face contact through Microsoft Teams or alternate digital platforms.  \nSchool Holidays  \nThe school officially closed for three weeks from 21 March 2020 and should reopen on 20 April 2020, 17:00 for boarders and on 21 April 2020 for commencement of lessons. In some cases, teachers may be sending some holiday research tasks. However, I have not made this request compulsory for all classes as I believe that children and staff need to have a well-earned break after a very busy and stressful second term.  \n... cont'd message from the Managing Director  \nDuring the holidays there are also online resources which are free which can be accessed by students:  \n Audible Stories is available for children who are temporarily unable togo to school around the world. Listen to all audiobooks for free, with content ranging from preschool to classic literature, no download of apps, no login required, no ads, with languages like English, German, French, Italian [or Japanese- ](or Japanese-  stories.audible.com/discovery)[ stories.audible.com/discovery](or Japanese-  stories.audible.com/discovery)  \n Free online virtual visit to 17 museums in Europe  \n In response to the epidemic, Cambridge Publishing, UK, is offering 700  \nonline reading editions of their books. The free reading period is until  \nthe end of May, and includes some Christian and theological works.  \n Online Broadway Musical, 7 Day FREE Trial  \nCancellation of May/June Cambridge Examination Series  \nWe have also been informed by Cambridge that the exams for the May/June series for Checkpoint and IGCSE have been cancelled. Our students in Year 6 and 9 will write their Checkpoint exams during the October/November series. The fees paid for these exams will carry across to the later series of exams. We are still awaiting further instruction with regards the Year 11 IGCSE examinations. We should have more clarity regarding the decision on these exams on 31 March 2020. Please see attached letter which has been sent by Cambridge to our parents.  \nRelease of Reports  \nAll the reports were released digitally on Friday through the parents’ portal to those parents whose fees are up to date. In many cases the username and password to the Parents’ Portal unfortunately went to Junk Mail. Please check in that section if you may not yet have received your access details. However, if you experience any further problems, please contact me through the two email addresses shown at the end of this message.  \n... cont'd message from the Managing Director  \nI am ","cbCaivfzCkOpeojC","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivfzCkOpeojC","pdf",10981611,1,31,"English","en",105,"# In the Loop - The Official Newsletter of Crawford International School\n## Message from the Managing Director\n## School Holidays and Remote Learning Resources\n## Release of Reports and Parents’ Portal Access\n## Covid-19: The Way Forward\n## Joining the Global Movement to Celebrate Women","[{\"question\":\"How did Crawford International School respond when schools were closed due to Covid-19?\",\"answer\":\"The staff delivered education digitally after an immediate refresher training, with teaching moving to remote platforms such as Microsoft Teams and other alternate digital options.\"},{\"question\":\"What should students in Year 4–11 do regarding their exam papers?\",\"answer\":\"Students were provided with exam papers, asked to re-attempt them, and then mark according to the memo to understand what was corrected.\"},{\"question\":\"Which Cambridge examinations were cancelled and what happens next?\",\"answer\":\"The May/June Cambridge examination series for Checkpoint and IGCSE was cancelled.
