Emergencies
Accidents and Illnesses
If a student is injured or becomes ill during the school day, they should report directly to the health office or ask a teacher for assistance. Anyone who observes an accident, injury, or sees someone who appears ill should ask a teacher for assistance and call the health office at Ext. 220 immediately. Students should refrain from carrying any injured person and should instead call for help and wait for instructions from the nurse.
Emergency Procedures
Students will receive annual training and direct instructions from teachers through periodic drills.
Weather and Air Quality Index (AQI)
In the event of dangerous weather conditions (for example, lightning) or poor air quality, all outdoor classes, sports and activities will cease immediately. Signs will be posted on the fields and teachers will inform students.
Typhoons and Tropical Storms
School closure will be aligned with Taipei City and New Taipei City announcements. Please check the school website for closure announcements and updates.
