About the School`s Temporary Closure (Partial Resumption)

Regarding to the New Corona Virus Infection

Since confirming that one of our students suffered from the new corona virus infection on January 14^th, we have responded under the guidance of the Health Center in cooperation with the Prefectural Board of Education and our school doctors. We apologize for any inconvenience caused during this time, and thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Based on the investigation conducted by the school and the health center, we identified the subjects to be inspected, and as a result, it was shown that some of the students were classified as "close contacts". In the meantime, we are conducting health observations at home for those who are applicable, such as by requesting to wait at home. If you do not have individual contact from the health center or school at this time, it means that you do not correspond as a close contact.

Therefore, 2^nd year students will still be temporarily closed, while 1^st and 3^rd year students` classes will resume tomorrow, January 17^th (Monday). Now, depending on the infection situation, etc., we may again take temporary closure for the entire school or for each grade.

Please check the "Notice Blog from School(学校からの知らせ)on the homepage", e-mail newsletter, and Google classroom for information regarding the resumption of educational activities in which temporary closures will be held.

2^nd year students are still on temporary closure, refrain from going out unnecessarily and urgently to prevent the spread of infection.

Regarding to the new corona virus infection, it is important to take appropriate measures based on the current information. We apologize for the inconvenience, but we will continue to cooperate with related organizations to prevent the spread of infection, and we ask for your understanding and cooperation.

In addition, regarding the handling of information related to this matter, from the viewpoint of personal information protection and giving due consideration to privacy and human rights so that the students of our school will not be damaged by rumors. We ask for your understanding and cooperation so as not to take wrong actions such as doing so.
