Dear Parents,
School got back to normal last week as children came back from their holidays. We had a good week of study and children were quickly back into the swing of regular school. However, we need to remind some of you to make sure that your child is regular in attendance at school. Obviously any child who is absent regularly will suffer in their studies. It is not allowed for a child to be absent for any and every reason. There are set guidelines and a child who is absent regularly can fail the year due to insufficient days of attendance. Also many of you need to be reminded to make sure your child is on time. Some of the children are brought by their parents late every day and some are in the habit of taking their children early according to their convenience. Please do not take your children out of the school early unless it is absolutely necessary whether it is inconvenient or not.
Revision Week: The revision week has got underway. Please make sure that your child has the revision folder with him/her everyday for those subjects in which there are exams: (Maths, Science, English and Arabic). For other subjects classes will be conducted as normal and students should bring their regular books. For Grade 9-10 the same rule applies but according to the options which they have taken, whether science or commerce subjects. (e.g. if they have chosen science subjects they will take exams in all the science subjects they have chosen. Grade 11 and 12 are taking exams in all their subjects. If students or parents have any doubts about the portion or any part of the curriculum, please alleviate the doubt by letting your child consult with the teacher or leave a message with the supervisor for the teacher to call you.
Exam week Timing & Buses:
Please note that during exam week, 28th Feb- 4th March, school will finish daily at 11 a.m. for all students from KG-G12.
Parents please make sure your child is picked up on time.
Non Exam Days: On any day during the exam week when there is no exam for your child, children are not expected to come to school on that day.
