According to the reflection of some parents, the 2026 - 2027 school year has begun, but Ha Huy Tap Elementary School (Ha Huy Tap ward) has not officially announced whether it will organize semi-boarding at the main school point in residential group 8.
This makes many parents worried. If this school year continues not to organize semi-boarding like the previous school year, they will have to spend a lot of time taking their children home for lunch, and then bringing them back to school in the early afternoon.
Previously, in the 2025 - 2026 school year, Tan Lam Huong Primary School 1 (now the main school point of Ha Huy Tap Primary School after the merger) did not organize semi-boarding because the school deployed the construction of a 3-story school building.
Throughout a school year, many parents face many difficulties when having to pick up and drop off their children to lunch and then continue to take their children back to school in the early afternoon.
To date, the school construction project has been completed and put into use from the 2026 - 2027 school year. However, parents have not yet received official information about the semi-boarding organization, so they continue to worry.
Ms. Y, whose child studies at the main school point, Ha Huy Tap Elementary School, said that a few days ago, she asked her child's homeroom teacher about organizing semi-boarding. The teacher replied that in the 2026 - 2027 school year, the school will not organize semi-boarding.
Hearing that, I was very sad and worried. Both husband and wife are busy working, so if there is no semi-boarding, it is very difficult to arrange time to pick up and drop off children to lunch and then take them to school," Ms. Y shared.
Ms. Y and many other parents hope that the school will soon organize semi-boarding to reduce difficulties and hardships in picking up and dropping off children at noon.
On September 6, Ms. Le Thi Huong - Principal of Ha Huy Tap Primary School - said that she had just taken office as principal a few days after the school merged. Therefore, the school will check and review the conditions, especially facilities, to determine whether they are qualified to organize semi-boarding at the main school site or not.
According to Ms. Huong, currently, the main school point of Ha Huy Tap Elementary School has a 2-story building that is leaking. The Ward People's Committee is having a renovation plan, and it is expected that from next week tiles will be removed for repair and roof re-roofing.
During the renovation period, some classrooms will be temporarily arranged in the dining and bedroom area of the boarding house row.
Principal of Ha Huy Tap Primary School said that from next week, the school will review the entire facilities, then hold a meeting to agree with the Board of Directors to come up with a suitable plan, with the goal of organizing semi-boarding meals as soon as possible, reducing difficulties for parents and students.
Mr. Pham Manh Hien - Vice Chairman of Ha Huy Tap Ward People's Committee - said that in the 2025 - 2026 school year, Tan Lam Huong Primary School 1 will not organize semi-boarding because the school has to use the semi-boarding dining hall as a temporary classroom during the construction of the 3-story school building.
Up to now, the project has been completed and put into use from the 2026 - 2027 school year. Therefore, the Ward People's Committee requests the school to organize semi-boarding during this school year to create favorable conditions for parents and students.
