Lycée Français de Séoul (LFS) has established protocols to ensure the safety of everyone in the school.

POLLUTION PROTOCOL
The LFS uses the Seocho-Gu professional terminal for air quality data.
Daily, the school life team, the school nurse and teachers consult air pollution levels and systematically before recess. The air purifiers installed throughout the premises are activated every morning.
Teachers have access to data updated every 10 minutes live from the AirVisual application on their mobile phone. They consult the data and inform the students of the situation before they leave the class in order to respect the protection protocol.
This information is supplemented by the broadcast of an audible alert triggered in the event of an AQI > 201.
LFS pollution protocol is as follows:
*Upon registration, parents can authorize their child(ren) with respiratory conditions to go outside in case of AQI pollution between 100 and 150.

HYGIENE PROTOCOL
Hygiene is one of the basics taught as early as Kindergarten. Students wash their hands after recess, after using the bathroom, and before going to lunch. Hygiene rules are communicated to primary school students in class, while a hygiene protocol is handed out to secondary school students and sent to their parents.
Since the outbreak of Covid-19, hygiene measures have been reinforced, including the following: tables and kitchen tools are disinfected several times a day, anyone entering the school must fill out a health questionnaire and report their temperature, the wearing of masks is compulsory for everyone at all times, classroom tables have been spaced out and partitions set up in the dining hall. Details of our Covid-19 protocol may be found here.
ACCIDENT PROTOCOL
In the event of an accident in the school requiring outside medical intervention, the nurse immediately notifies the parents, or the emergency contact if necessary, and emergency services (119).
In the event the family’s arrival is delayed, a member of school staff accompanies the child to hospital and awaits the arrival of the parents or the emergency contact. Under no circumstances does LFS let a student go to hospital, or stay there, on his or her own.
SPECIAL SAFETY PLAN (PPMS)
The Special Safety Plan was designed by LFS to protect students and staff in the school in the event of a major event or accident.
To ensure effectiveness, PPMS is regularly updated and kept operational. The development, implementation and annual update of the Special Safety Plan is carried out in close cooperation with the French embassy and is validated by the embassy’s security officer at the beginning of each academic year. LFS staff members attend specific training sessions.
Drills such as evacuation of the school or containment are held throughout the year to enhance the protocol.
As part of this protocol, the school also alerts parents to any situation, whether a drill or real-life event, and informs them of steps to take.
