Dear Parents,

Each year we do a variety of charity events to support the local communities. We are asking for parents and children to donate any unwanted clothes, that are in good condition, so that we can donate these to the local charities that we support.

As a school, we regularly support two local orphanages and this is where any donations will be delivered, once the collection is complete. If your contributions exceed the need of the orphanages, we will take children from El Alsson to the Egyptian Clothes bank, and they will help with the sorting of and distribution of the clothes.

We have placed large containers around the school.  We would ask for any donations to be sent with the children, they can place them into any one of the containers around the school.

Collection has already started. We will set the maximum deadline as December 6th to enable us to have time for sorting and distribution. Please send everything before that date.

Thank you in advance for your generous donations.  We know this will mean a great deal to the orphanages and the children there.

If you have any questions please email Mrs. Amin (British School) on namin@alsson.com or Mrs. Angy Shalaby (American School) on ashalaby@alsson.com

Dear Parents,

Since the move to NewGiza, the number of car children has increased substantially. To ensure the safety of your children we have decided to introduce a new system for car students which we will implement from Sunday, 4th November.

• Each car student (Primary/Elementary) is to have a car permit with a photo whereby no one can come and pick up the child without a card – yes, even if it is the mother or the father.
• If it is an emergency, and you can’t give the card to someone else, we will still keep the phone-in system and/or email where you contact the secretaries in charge of your child’s section and they issue a note to your child – before 1 pm.
At the end of the day, car students will gather on the primary plaza, next to the admin building. Students will be separated into British school and American school groups. To collect a child, parents are invited to come to the wire gate and show the car permit. There will be an American staff member on one side of the gate and a British staff member on the other side. Children will be seated until called to come to the gate to be collected by the person showing the car permit.

We would like to ensure a good flow of children and parents leaving in an orderly fashion. Would you please help us with this new system by following teacher directions on the day?

We have printed and laminated three cards per student (enclosed with this letter) so that each of the parents and perhaps the driver can have a card for pick up. In case you want to order more cards and if you lose them, you can always email mfouad@alsson.com to print more for you.

We have to be careful these days so we really appreciate your full support to apply and enforce the new system.

Your patience and kindness with our gate security personnel is also appreciated.

Thanking you in advance
