We will stop online learning for them then.
Before a child comes to school parents will have to sign the Confirmation form (attached here) and send it to school by Tuesday, 12 May (inter.osljdk@guest.arnes.si) or to Danila Kumar International School, Gogalova 15, 1000 Ljubljana) to confirm their child is healthy and has not been in contact with anybody infected by Coronavirus.

Please let me (irena.steblaj@guest.arnes.si) know if there are any relevant reasons (family chronic conditions and other risk factors) for your child to stay at home by Tuesday, 12 May so we can organise alternative ways of supporting your child in finishing this school year successfully.
Although we do not recommend pupils stay in school after regular lessons, we will organise the Afternoon Programme, but only for parents who need their children to be supervised while at work.
Please apply for the programme by Tuesday, 12 May to inter.osljdk@guest.arnes.si.
As the Kindergarten programme is not mandatory, parents have the option to keep their children at home and the school will not charge them. Those whose children will return to the kindergarten should apply and send us the Confirmation form to show their child is healthy to inter.osljdk@guest.si.
Grade 4 – 7 pupils will continue with online learning until the end of the school year. Individual pupils might be asked to come to school to finish their projects or do summative assessments.
