Children may be released to a parent (or designated responsible adult, with parental permission), however, kindergartens will not request parents to come to collect their children in dangerous conditions.
If school buses can be arranged when the relevant signals are lowered, they should run. If not, the kindergarten will advise parents (or designated responsible adult) to collect their children from kindergarten when it is safe to do so.
Kindergartens that lie in areas prone to flooding or landslips will monitor conditions and take the necessary precautionary measures.
Children may stay at kindergarten and travel home on the school bus at the scheduled time.
Parents may arrange to collect their child before the end of the session and should inform the kindergarten of their intention.
Note: A deadline of 10:30 am is set to allow sufficient time for the buses to do the afternoon run. This timing may differ from guidance given by EDB which usually sets a deadline of 11:00 am.
