OSCASI: Presente y apoyando a nuestra comunidad

By Staff | OSCASI

Dear Donor,

Happy New Year! We wish you best in 2022 and we want to begin this year thnbaking you for your support. OSCASI began in September 2021 the first quarter of the 21-22 School Year, planning for three possible scenarios; educate through the distance modality; receive students in small groups to be served in two shifts; or to reoccupy the classrooms of our two schools by all the students and teaching staff. At that time, the teachers and workers attended workshops, which could not be held at the administrative headquarters of the organization, as had been initially arranged, due to the appearance of positive cases of COVID19 in that place. This led us to make the decision to carry out the return to classes under the second modality, with an enrollment of 162 students who started attending in small groups, always observing biosecurity measures and complying with the guidelines, previously established, in case of COVID symptoms among students, teaching staff, administrative staff or workers.

The classrooms were equipped with pedagogical and didactic material designed by our team and with an encyclopedia for each level. We received the students giving them uniforms and school supplies and their families received a bag of food and a hygiene Kit.

On October 25, 2021, the government authorities allowed us to open the kitchen service of both schools, offering breakfast, lunch and a snack every day of the week to our students, and the opportunity in who attended face-to-face classes in groups from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 m., guaranteeing the distance between them at the time of eating. In this first quarter, there were 54 effective days of kitchen service, offering 3,701 meals, returning to the quarterly average prior to the Pandemic.

The usual evaluations were carried out to diagnose the level of each grade, to establish the work strategy with each group and to determine the special cases to which more personalized support must be offered.

The Medical Sessions were held, and 146 students were evaluated by general medicine and 36 by psychology. It is noteworthy that only 8 cases of malnutrition due to deficit (4.9%) were found, this low incidence is presumed to be due to the program of feeding and opportune intervention in our schools. Short stature was found in 9 cases (5.5%) and is related to chronic malnutrition, either due to prolonged insufficient supply of nutrients, recurrent diseases, or environmental factors.

To close the quarter, a Christmas Party was held for all the children of our schools, with the presence of Santa Claus who handed out 157 toys to our students, with the participation of the community of the San Ignacio School, as well as our volunteers.

On January 10, 2022, we resumed classes, this time receiving the entire school population from 7.30 am to 12 m, organizing them within the classrooms into small groups according to their levels of understanding of the program being taught, and work outside the classroom has been greatly promoted to keep our students in contact with nature, providing them with a ventilated space to work in this time of pandemic. The parents and representatives who are delegates from each room have been encouraged to collaborate with the cleaning of the schools and support in the kitchens for the preparation of food. Student attendance currently is at 76%. We are in the preparations for the celebration of our 63rd anniversary which will be celebrated on February 21st.

Querido Parino,

¡Feliz año! Te deseamos todo lo mejor este 2022 y comenzamos agradeciendo tu apoyo. OSCASI da comienzo en septiembre 2021 al primer momento de Año Escolar 21-22, con una planificación con 3 posibles escenarios; educar mediante la modalidad a distancia; recibir a los alumnos en grupos reducidos para ser atendidos en dos turnos; o volver a ocupar las aulas de nuestras dos escuelas por la totalidad de alumnos y personal docente. Para ese momento, los docentes y personal obrero asistieron a talleres, que no pudieron llevarse a cabo en la sede administrativa de la organización, tal y como se había dispuesto inicialmente, por aparecer casos positivos de COVID19 en ese lugar.  Esto nos lleva a tomar la decisión de llevar a cabo la vuelta a clases bajo la segunda modalidad, con una matrícula de 162 estudiante, atendida en pequeños grupos, observando siempre las medidas de bioseguridad y cumpliendo con los lineamientos, previamente establecido, en caso de presentarse síntomas del virus entre los alumnos, personal docente, administrativo u obrero. 

Las aulas fueron dotadas de material pedagógico y didáctico ideado por parte de nuestro equipo y con enciclopedias para cada nivel. Recibimos a los alumnos con la entrega de uniformes y útiles escolares y además se hizo entrega a sus familias de una bolsa de alimentos y un Kit de Higiene.  

El 25 de octubre de 2021, las autoridades escolares nos permitieron abrir el servicio de Comedor de ambas escuelas, para atender a nuestros niños, niñas y adolescentes, ofreciéndoles desayuno, un almuerzo y una merienda todos los días de la semana, en la oportunidad en la que acudían a clases presenciales, atendiéndoles en grupos en el horario comprendido de 8:00 a.m. a 10:00 a.m. y de 10:00 a.m. a 12:00 m., garantizando el distanciamiento entre ellos al momento de comer. En este primer momento pedagógico fueron 54 días efectivos de servicio de comedor, ofreciendo 3701 comidas, retomando el promedio trimestral previo a la Pandemia. 

Se realizaron las evaluaciones de costumbre para diagnosticar el nivel de cada grado, para establecer la estrategia de trabajo con cada grupo y determinar los casos especiales a los cuales hay que ofrecerles un apoyo más personalizado.

Las Jornadas Médicas se llevaron a cabo y fueron evaluados por medicina general 146 estudiantes y por psicología 36. Es de destacar que sólo se encontraron 8 casos de malnutrición por déficit (4,9%), esta baja incidencia se presume que se deba al programa de alimentación e intervención oportuna que se lleva en las escuelas. La talla baja fue encontrada en 9 casos (5,5%) y se relaciona a desnutrición crónica, bien sea por aporte insuficiente de nutrientes prolongado en tiempo, enfermedades recurrentes o por factores ambientales.

Como cierre del Primer Momento Pedagógico se realizó una Fiesta de Navidad para todos los niños de nuestras Escuelas, con la presencia de San Nicolás quien entregó 157 juguetes a nuestros estudiantes, contando con la participación de la Comunidad del Colegio San Ignacio, así como de nuestro Voluntariado.

El 10 de enero de 2022 reanudamos las clases, esta vez atendiendo a la totalidad de la población escolar, organizándola dentro de los salones en pequeños grupos según sus niveles de comprensión del programa que se imparte y se ha promovido mucho el trabajo fuera del aula para mantener en contacto de nuestros estudiantes con la naturaleza, procurando para ellos un espacio ventilado para trabajar en este tiempo de pandemia. Los padres y representantes que son delegados de cada salón se han animado, en este comienzo del segundo momento paragógico, a colaborar con la limpieza de las escuelas y apoyar en las cocinas para la elaboración de alimentos. La asistencia de alumnos en este momento es de 76%. Nos encontramos en los preparativos para la celebración de nuestro aniversario número 63 que se cumplirá el 21 de febrero.
