Dear Parents,
It was wonderful to see many of you in our El Alsson Parent Council information session yesterday morning.
As mentioned at the meeting, we are very excited to get this up and running and find a huge value in having a strong, active, and engaged parent council to enrich our children’s time here at El Alsson. Increasing the volunteerism culture at the school will have a huge impact on the overall school spirit and will provide great activities for the entire community.
For interested parents who were unable to make it, please see the presentation slides at the link below. We ask parents interested in contributing to the development and work of our Parent Council to please register their interest by completing this sort form. You will then be contacted in the near future with information about next steps and meetings.
Thanks again for taking the time and for your interest in the Parent Council.
Kind Regards,
Colin Rogers, Soumaya Amr, Karim Rogers, Allison Fleet, Matt Topliss

Dear Parents,
As we are approaching the end of the first term, we are delighted to announce the re-launch of a key initiative within our school community which will ensure that parent involvement can continue to grow in all areas of life at El Alsson. It is very important for the development of the children to see their parents involved in their school and helping with different activities that increase their enrichment and provide them with an incredible experience at El Alsson.
We are excited to reintroduce the El Alsson Parent Council, which will continue to be defined and grow to serve the primary purpose of increasing the enrichment of the El Alsson students through different programs, events, and activities outside their classroom time. The key ingredient to the success of the Parent Council is volunteers. We are very lucky that our school community is one that prides itself with having close ties to one another, making it that much easier to work together to make it an even more positive experience for our children.
It is important to note that the success of the Parent Council will be determined by how we, as a school community, adhere to the purpose of the Council as well as increasing the overall volunteerism culture within the parent community. There will also be teacher and administration involvement in the Council in order to increase the communication between the parents and the staff.
The El Alsson Parent Council will be rolled out gradually with some activity taking place this school year, and we aim to be fully functional with a wide variety of committees and activities by the beginning of the 2023-24 academic year. Additional information will be available at our first meeting.
We would like to invite you to an information session to be held in the American School Small Hall on Wednesday, November 9th at 9:00am.
We are really looking forward to an amazing experience and to have a strong and successful Parent Council to serve the entire El Alsson community. We hope to see as many interested parents at our information session on Wednesday!
Kind Regards,
Colin Rogers, Soumaya Amr, Karim Rogers, Allison Fleet & Matt Topliss

Dear parents,
Over the past couple of years we have been running the Winter Clothes Drive which has been hugely successful and greatly appreciated by our matrons and workers. We were overwhelmed with the incredible level of generosity in your donations and we wish to continue this initiative. Our students thoroughly enjoyed volunteering their time and effort to give back to their community and it was a significant learning experience for them to further develop their sense of social responsibility.
As of Sunday the 6th of November, we will start collecting clothes donations. We kindly ask that you ensure the donations you make are in good condition without any stains, rips, broken zippers, etc. Please drop off your donations to your child’s designated administrative office (EC/ES American Office, MHS American Office, Primary British Office, Secondary British Office).
The clothes distribution will be held on Thursday the 8th of December.
This is a school-wide project where staff and students will be collaborating together from both the British and American School. We would like to invite parents who are interested in volunteering to support to sign up HERE to specify your availability.
We look forward to another successful Winter Clothes Drive!
