Going “back to school” has always been fun, but how do you stay safe and have all the fun during the ongoing Covid-19.
Here are 10 Simple Tips that will help you stay safe when you are back to school.
SCHOOL IS THE FOUNDATION TO A BETTER FUTURE
Get Organized: Ready your schoolbag!! Stock it up with all the books and stationery you require for a school day. Additionally, a hand sanitizer, face-covering (mask), disinfectant wipes, and tissues will come in handy.
Recognize That School will be Different now: The traditional classroom setting will be different until things return to normal. Temperature checks, social distancing, frequent hand sanitizing, frequent sanitizing of high-contact surfaces, shorter lunch breaks, etc. will be a part of the new school system. Many school events may also be canceled or conducted virtually. Some schools might choose to conduct outdoor classes if situation permits.
Be Ready to Switch: Schools may choose to adopt a mix of both offline and online classes. Half-day or alternate day classes may also be adopted to teach in small clusters rather than large groups. Be ready to switch to these new schedules if they are applied.
Follow the Safety Instructions: Follow all the COVID-19 safety instructions given by your school and encourage your buddies to follow them as well. Avoid breaking school rules.
KYS (Know Your Syllabus): Get to know the chapters and the content of the subjects. It will help you know the key things you will be studying this year.

Set clear goals: Outline your short-term and long-term goals. Conveniently schedule your day, set deadlines, and see the difference. Take your time and create a to-do checklist. It can help keep track of your progress.
After school learning: Make sure you revise and revisit the chapters you learned at school. Make a study schedule, form virtual learning circles with your friends and classmates where you can share questions and doubts.
