Update: PSI 321

Het houdt niet op..we blijven records breken.
Wil net aan deze update beginnen en de mail van school komt binnen. Wanneer de waarde morgen om 6 uur boven de 300 is wordt de school gesloten:

Dear parents,



The haze level showed a strong increase over the past few hours. The published readings went up from 172 PSI at 3pm to 321 at 10pm.

If tomorrow morning the readings are still in the ‘very unhealthy’ or 'hazardous' range and your children do not feel fit, feeling tired, if they have a heart or a respiratory condition we earnestly request to take the necessary precautions and not to send your children to school. In case you estimate that sending your child to school is a too high risk for your child, even if he/she doesn't show signs of feeling uncomfortable, you are allowed to keep your child at home. Please do inform the school about the absence of your child.  Please note that the school is not equipped to assist children with complications due to the effects of these high PSI-levels.

NOTE: In case tomorrow morning 6am the PSI level exceed the 300 the school will be closed until further notice. You will be informed at 06.15 by mail.
