Plan for re-opening

The board of governors met and decided to re-open school next Wednesday without a general parent's meeting. They and we feel that the best course of action will be to stagger the opening over a week long period. Each designated group of students will report on a different day with their parents. We will host individual and group conferences to explain the situation and allow everyone to express any concerns or reservations. Before re-admission each student and their parent or parents will need to sign a code of conduct. Hopefully, prior to these meetings we will have identified some of the ringleaders and will be able to discuss the situation and course of action with their parents.
Please continue to keep us in your prayers during this time. We need to be gracious yet firm. Supportive of our staff and committed to our students. A dynamic tension to be sure. As for us, we need a break. The events over the course of the last month have a cummulative effect. We will be leaving Bundibugyo this weekend to escape, re-charge and hopefully gain some much needed perspective, so that we can begin what is sure to be a very full week on Wednesday. Some of our staff are also feeling the same need, please pray for our collective times away.
