Before sending your child to back to school ensure the child goes to school with these 3 things for his/her safety

• Nose Masks/Face Masks; this is a necessary requirement in the country because of the ravaging Covid 19 pandemic. Don’t send your child to any secondary school without him or her going with a nose mask or face mask. It is very cheap but it’s very serious if you really care about your child and yourself.
• Hand Sanitizers; this is another necessary requirement every child must go with to school. This is purely for the safety of the child and your safety as a parent. Therefore, as you are reading this article, purchase a hand sanitizer if you don’t have one and prepare for the resumption of your child.

We wish your child success in his/her new Academic session.
