Dear parents,

As the temperatures start to drop and winter approaches, we wish to turn our attention to the vital members of our school community  who may lack some essentials to help them get through this season. The Winter Drive last year was a tremendous success thanks to your incredibly generous donations. The Student Council organized a market where the matrons were invited to select an item for themselves and for each of their children. It was an opportunity for the students to actively participate in community service and to show their appreciation for the essential roles the matrons play. This year we would like to open the market up to our male workers as well such as our security guards, gardeners and maintenance workers.

We invite you to donate any clothes and winter necessities such as warm boots, blankets, gloves that you no longer need. It is important that the items you donate are in good condition, no stains, rips, broken zippers, etc. It would be very helpful if the donations were categorized according to age and gender. You also have the option to donate money which will be used to purchase clothes for the market if needed or it will be saved for future charity and community service events.

On Thursday 18th November we will have a school wide dress-down day in support of this initiative. For a donation of 20LE (or more if desired) your child may come to school out of uniform. Further information about how to make these donations will be communicated to students divisionally.

We look forward to providing our students with the opportunity to give back and show compassion and appreciation for those in need.

 

Dear Parents,

Please find below an update on the school’s Covid-19 protocols from School Directors and Principals.

With all best wishes,

Dear Parents,

As the start of the school year draws near, we wanted to provide you with some bus transport information as your child is registered to use a school bus.

Please be advised of the following points:

Late Buses for EC/EY Students: We are unable to allow students on the 1:35 EC/EY buses to travel home on 2:35 buses with older siblings. Excepts are made only in the case where we do not provide a 1:35 bus service to the child’s location. It is the parents’ responsibility to make arrangements for 1:35 bus students to be received at their bus stop in the afternoon.

Bus Changes: Bus changes are not permitted except in the case of significant emergency, and at the discretion of the Operations Manager. Please note that doctors appointments or desire for a child to go to visit with relatives or friends, amongst other things, are not considered to be emergencies.

Bus Changes for Club Training: Bus changes for students who attend sports club training may be approved upon a request to the Operations Manager and receipt of an official letter from the club. Please note that such requests will be approved on a first-come first-serve basis and only be approved if there is sufficient space on the bus required. Any approved changes for club training will only take effect beginning October 3rd. Parents are advised to submit their requests as soon as possible for processing.

Address Changes: Any parent whose child has changed address since last year, or who plans to change address within the academic year, is advised to alert the Operations Manager before the first day of school.

Bus App: Please note that all the bus info is available on the school’s bus app.

Prior to the start of school, we kindly ask that you discuss our bus rules with your child. Further school-wide communications will also provide reminders as to bus health and safety processes.

Kind Regards,

Ahmed Mattar

Operations Manager
