Dear Parents,

Re: Ramadan 2026 Timings For Students

As part of our provision for this year’s Ramadan, the school day will begin for students at 8:45am daily and end at 1:45pm. This is the same timing that we used last year.

We ask that you please factor these start/end times into your transportation planning whether your child travels by bus or car. The gate closure time during Ramadan will be adjusted to 8:55am after which the gates will close to all students arriving late. Adjusted bus pick up times will be communicated closer to the start of Ramadan via the transportation office.

You will receive divisional communications closer to the start of Ramadan which outline the adjustments to the lesson/break schedule during Ramadan as well as division-specific information to ensure continuity of learning throughout the holy month of Ramadan. We cannot stress enough the importance of regular attendance during Ramadan.

Your child’s divisional head will provide more specific information about changes to lessons and breaks.

Regards,

El Alsson NewGiza

Dear Parents,

We are pleased to inform you that we will be launching the Parent Pick-Up Module on the School Parent Mobile Application for the Junior School. Firstly you have to have the El Alsson Mobile app on your phone updated.
The El Alsson: Parents app is live on Apple, Google Play & Huawei stores.

It is crucial to activate push notifications to ensure you do not miss any important school announcements, as emails may be missed or sent to junk folders.

For your login information, use your school-registered email address as your username. Your password will be the first part of your email before the ‘@’ symbol, followed by 159. And remember to change your password after your initial login for security purposes!

For support with the app.: parentsappsupport@alsson.com

The Parent Pick-Up Module is a new feature which has been developed to enhance student safety and to support a smooth, well-organized end-of-day pick-up process.

Starting Tuesday, 13 January, we will begin using the Parent Pick-Up Module as part of a two-week grace period. During this time, the module will be used to:

• Help parents get familiar with how the system works
• Run trials during daily pick-up
• Collect feedback
• Fix and fine-tune any technical or operational issues

This grace period will allow parents and the school team to become comfortable with the system before it becomes part of the daily routine.

To help you prepare, please find below:

• A detailed Parent Communication outlining how the module works
• A short video demonstrating the steps on the School Parent Mobile Application

In addition, we will be holding online Zoom sessions to guide parents through the module, explain the process in detail, and answer any questions.

Zoom Sessions:

• Sunday, 11 January
  • 09:00 AM – Zoom Link: [Sunday 9 AM Meeting]
  • 12:00 PM – Zoom Link: [Sunday 12 PM Meeting]
• Monday, 12 January
  • 09:00 AM – Zoom Link: [Monday 9 Am Meeting]
  • 12:00 PM – Zoom Link: [Monday 12 PM Meeting]

Parents may attend the session that best suits their schedule.

If you have any questions or inquiries, please feel free to contact Menna Azmy, HR OD Lead on mazmy@alsson.com.

We appreciate your cooperation and support as we move forward with this important initiative, and we look forward to your participation.

Kind regards,

El Alsson NewGiza

Dear Parents,

We are sure it has come to your attention that a new Ministry decree regarding schools has recently been circulated. We understand that this has raised many questions, and we wanted to reach out promptly to provide clarity and reassurance.

Please rest assured that we are fully engaged at the forefront of the discussions. There has been continuous communication with the relevant authorities as we seek clarification on several points. However, we felt it important to update you now, as many of the items being mentioned are already in place at our school or are currently underway.

Below is a point-by-point overview:

1. Security Cameras

Our school operates with over 400 security cameras across all buildings and outdoor spaces, functioning 24/7 for surveillance and monitoring.

Cameras are not currently installed inside classrooms; however, the infrastructure is ready should it become mandatory, pending official licensing and regulation requirements.

2. Supervision on School Buses

As a matter of long-standing practice there is a trained bus supervisor assigned to every school bus and this supervisor is always on the bus when children are present. 

Additionally, the school is already in process of investigating the feasibility of installing cameras on all buses via an NTRA-licensed vendor. 

3. Drug Testing & Background Checks for All School Personnel

Strict screening measures have long been established at our school:

• Teachers, admin, senior leadership, support staff and matrons undergo police clearance, safeguarding checks, and full professional vetting.

• Bus drivers undergo full police checks and transport safety compliance.

• Workers, drivers, gardeners, outsourced personnel, and food vendors all must provide:
  • Police clearance

  • Drug tests

  • Verified identification

  • Clearance before entering the campus

These standards have been in place for many years and exceed typical requirements. The school will comply with the new requirements as and when they are clarified for us by the Ministry. 

4. Safeguarding & Training Workshops

Safeguarding is deeply embedded in our school culture. We run regular training workshops for:

• Student body safety and safeguarding workshops for all ages, delivered by school counselors. 
• Teaching and administrative staff

• Matrons (student handling, supervision, conduct)

• Drivers (safe driving, behaviour standards, emergency response)

• Workers and support staff (campus safety, professional boundaries, emergency procedures)

All practices are aligned with BSO, BSME, Ministry, and American accreditation guidelines. 

5. Bathroom Supervision & Matron Presence 

All student bathrooms on campus have a dedicated matron assigned as part of our safeguarding protocols and our matrons already remain at school an hour after the school day ends.

Her core responsibilities include:

• Overseeing cleanliness and hygiene

• Ensuring proper functioning and operations of the facilities

• Supervising and monitoring students—whether younger or older—while maintaining boundaries and safeguarding protocols

• Ensuring that no inappropriate behaviour, safety issues, or concerns arise

This system has always been in place at our school and forms an essential part of our daily safeguarding practice.

6. Security Presence on Campus

Security staff operate from quarters that are fully separated and fenced off from academic buildings. Their responsibilities focus on gates, entrances, exits, and outdoor areas.

Most have served the school for over 20 years, with full vetting completed by their outsourcing agency.

7. Maintenance & Workers

Our maintenance team is essential for the safe and efficient daily operation of the school. All staff are vetted thoroughly and are full-time employees of the school, not outsourced labourers. .

We are currently awaiting official clarification regarding proposed restrictions on their working hours inside the campus.

8. Student Arrival & Dismissal Procedures

We maintain full supervision for early arrivals and late pickups.

Independently from the decree, we are preparing to pilot a QR-code pickup system. Rollout will continue in phases, and parent feedback is welcome. 

9. Upcoming Site Access Adjustments

Starting next week, access to campus—especially during pickup times—will be further limited as part of our ongoing safety measures. Updated procedures will be shared soon.

Final Note

We continue to await further clarification from the Ministry and will update all parents promptly once details are finalized. Our priority remains the safety, wellbeing, and smooth daily experience of every student on campus.

 

Thank you for your trust, understanding, and continued partnership.

 

Warm regards,

El Alsson School Leadership
