Dear Ashdod residents,

The Home Front Command announced the removal of all restrictions, and therefore we made a joint decision to return the entire school system in Ashdod to routine at 9:00 am.
I wish us all a safe and successful routine.

 

The education system opens its doors throughout the country and invites all Israeli students to attend schools and kindergartens.

* The educational institutions will be opened gradually until 9:00. Teachers and principals will absorb their students as adults, and will run a school day gradually. The teaching staff will hold talks with the students, relieve stress, including yard activities for relaxation, and give expression to a shared social and emotional discourse.

The school counselors, in cooperation with the psychological and educational services staff, will work to identify distress and needs, and to strengthen the students' mental strength.

Transportation: * A notice was issued to the local authorities to begin organizing student transportation, while maintaining all security and safety rules.

* As for matriculation exams: * The central exam will begin at 14:00. Students who wish to do so will be able to take the exam today. Students who do not feel they are ready for the exam are invited to hold it at the additional time, which will be published as soon as possible, and today to arrive at the school as usual, without being examined.

Dear Parents,
These days, when the alarms are heard again and we are close to the screens, when our responses are stressed and stressed again, it is important to understand that these are normal responses to an abnormal situation and that it is necessary to mediate the new reality for our children. The children see us as anchor parents and our reactions affect them.
 
How can we make it easier for our children? ..And us ..?
 
It is important for the child to have an opportunity to talk about what he experiences, feels, expresses his fear and displeases the situation. Express in different ways and not just in conversation. Such as painting, puppet play, role-playing, diary writing.
To listen - to listen to our children fully. To look at them as they speak, to understand how they feel. Do not rule out what he says if a child says "I'm afraid" do not rule out and say - "You have nothing to fear" but say "I hear / see / feel you are afraid."
To share with the children what we feel, of course according to their ability and not to burden them. "" It's hard for me too "- emotional sharing brings the child into the legitimacy to talk about his emotions. "He said.
Explain - the similarity in children is much more developed than reality. Therefore it is necessary to explain to children what is going on, an age-appropriate explanation. "The same noise we hear is an alarm" "To keep ourselves safe we ​​have to enter the room" ...
Maintaining routine - In situations of confusion and pressure, routine keeps us, let alone our children. Gives them a sense of security. Therefore it is important to stick to the daily routine of getting up, meals, and sleep time. It is important to maintain the boundaries that exist at home.
Encouraging - to encourage the child all the time. To see the positive in every situation, what exists and not the nothingness. Give hope to days of quiet, and encourage the child's abilities.
To do things together - joint action enables mutual conversation and cooperation, and gives room for initiative and independence. Give the child a sense of ability and ability by asking for help at home: cook, bake, arrange various household tasks, calm a little brother and play together. Doing the things you love together gives you a good feeling, releasing substances in the brain that give us a sense of happiness, pleasure and relaxation.
Touch - combine everything with touch. Hug, kiss, stroke, massage. Touching the body from a loved one also releases soothing and pleasurable substances. Provides a sense of security and reduces stress and anxiety.
