News from Head of School - Kathy Miner
Dear Parents,
Since the start of school BBT have made all arrangements to provide safe and comfortable transportation to our students.
All measures are taken to make the journey of the students as safe as possible. In addition to the technological support BBT have provided extensive training to the drivers and bus conductors to follow all the safety guidelines prescribed by BBT.
Mystery shopping is also carried out in the buses by BBT and also by Safecor to ensure that all safety features are strictly complied with.
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact Mr. Abdullah at [email protected]. We value you feedback.
See Links for Recent Parent Presentations
Be sure to read our newsletter weekly to stay in touch with the many opportunities for parents to get involved at GAA. Feeling part of the school community is a great way to be involved in your child’s educational experience.
For those working parents, be sure to see the videos and presentations posted- we film many of the parent presentations and post them in our newsletter for those parents whose schedules are too busy to always make the sessions in person. See below.
Regards,
Kathryn Miner
Head of School and CEO
