After completion of the first term material, we  are to embark on Term II syllabus,” Kampala Parents School Principal said adding: “During the first week of the online teaching, there will be induction and revision of the holiday work. We shall issue a time-table for online classes which will be flexible where need be.”

“We should also not overlook the fact that the school has invested heavily in the equipment to enable online lessons to go on smoothly for the benefit of the learners. More still, due to the limited movement during this period of Covid-19 the school will take up the responsibility of accommodating the teachers,” she further said in the circular.

Online classes kicked off at Kampala parents are for Primary Five, Six and Seven. Classes for Primary Three and Four will start on 29th May, 2020 whereas Top Class, Primary One and Two will start on 4th June, 2020.
