Dear Parents,
Just a quick message this week to wish you all happy holidays as we depart for winter break. I look forward to seeing so you all back on 11th January to begin the New Year refreshed and ready to learn!
We have made some great improvements since September and I am proud of the accomplishments we have made as a school in this short time. In the New Year we will continue to forge ahead and realize all of our school improvement goals. I appreciate all of the input, conversations and suggestions along the way – keep them coming! For those interested in sending a suggestion, please connect with Kathryn Reynolds who is our Parents Relations Executive and can be reached on [email protected]. Your input helps us to continually grow and improve.
For those parents of high school students, please go to the secondary page of this newsletter for the January exam timetable.
Happy holidays and I will see you in the New Year!
Warm Regards
Kathy Miner

Parent ID Cards
Thank you to all those parents who have already collected their ID cards. Please ensure you begin to wear these each time you enter the campus. If you have uploaded your photographs onto the GLG please come and collect your card. The school, will be open Sunday - Thursday from 8.30am until 2pm during the winter holidays.
SECURITY - If you lose your Parent ID card please notify us immediately. We can re-issue lost cards, however you will have to pay 50AED
Nannies, Drivers and Relatives
For many of you, nannies, drivers or other relatives are the ones who regularly conduct morning drop off and afternoon pick up. Currently we are prioritizing the card printing of parents which will take us until January to complete. As you can imagine the coordination of printing and issuing over 3000 parent ID's is quite a task!!
From January your helpers or relatives will have to sign in at security before coming onto campus. We hope to be able to issue all your helpers and relatives with ID cards too. We will start this process in January and you will be required to supply us with a photograph, emirates ID copy and signed form that you authorize this person to drop off and collect your child from school. Expect further details in January - thank you for your patience with this in the mean time.
