Therefore, we are constantly reviewing and adapting our precautionary measurements based on the current situation. At the same time we make sure that our students can follow their curriculum. ## MEASURES TAKEN BY TANDEM IMS Many measures have been carried over from our previous school year, with the exception of face masks. We politely request** all parents who enter the schools to wear a face mask **while dropping off or picking up their child(ren).  At the end of September 2021, we started the [repetitive testing](https://www.tandem-ims.ch/hubfs/Covid_PoolTesten_PR_09-2021.pdf) at Primary School and Kindergarten level.  Our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) are being constantly reviewed and updated and will keep you informed regarding **our precautionary measurements** based on the current Covid-19 situation.  - **FAQs for Early Years & Pre-School** - **FAQs for Kindergarten & Primary** If you do not find an answer to your question, do not hesitate to contact our school office at [info@tandem-ims.ch](mailto:info@tandem-ims.ch) or 043 500 10 30.   ## CHECKLIST: CAN MY CHILD GO TO SCHOOL?

Afterwards we kindly ask you to fill in our [enquiry form](https://www.tandem-ims.ch/application-form-tandem-ims) and we will arrange a **15 min. tour of our school **with you. ## HOW COVID-19 IMPACTS LIFE AT SCHOOL A short film released by the Swiss government shows pupils how the coronavirus impacts life at school. It explains how the pupils can protect themselves and reminds them of the rules about handwashing and greeting people.  ## BACK FROM TRAVELLING?
