The Naguru-based school, whose admissions are still open for Pre-primary and Primary classes said authorities have worked hard to make sure that sure the reopening of the school provides a strong, affirmative and healthy learning environment for all learners.
Upon arrival, all the staff and pupils were mandated to have face masks put on, and all were subject to undergo temperature screening while the furniture inside the classes were properly rearranged for social distancing. This, the school said is set to be the norm until otherwise if the Covid-19 pandemic ceases to exist no more.

The School Principal, Mrs. Daphine Kato said both teachers and staff worked hard to get ready for students to return school and assured that the school will be following and implementing all government reopening guidelines and measures.
These, according to Mrs. Kato include putting up health and safety posters in schools, requiring masks for all pupils and staff, enhanced cleaning, ensuring social distancing, and improving handwashing facilities.
