School Hours
The normal school day begins at 7:30 a.m. and ends at 2:00 p.m. for students. Parents will be notified early in the
school year of both Ramadan hours and Inservice day schedules. Inservice days are scheduled two Mondays a month. On
these days, students will be dismissed at 11:25 AM, and teachers will spend the remaining time working on the
development of curriculum, professional development and other important issues. Please see the school calendar for
the early dismissal dates.
Attendance Policy
Punctuality: The school recognizes that there may be occasional, unavoidable times when students are delayed getting
to school. However, punctuality is important for your child’s own learning needs and habits. Every effort should be
made to assure that students arrive at school by 7:30 AM. It is also very important to pick up your child on time,
as supervision for students is not available after dismissal times. Your cooperation is always appreciated.
It is very important that an open line of communication exist between parents and teachers. If you should have any
questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call your child’s teacher. Communication with teachers regarding
academic progress can occur at any time, in addition to the times scheduled for formal meetings (IEP conferences,
report card conferences).
Absence
When illness or other unforeseen events result in your child’s absence from school, please make every effort to
notify your child’s teacher or the school nurse. It is important to note that the school nurse is required to
notify the Higher Council if any student misses three or more consecutive days of school.
Food/ Snacks
Students should bring a snack to be consumed during the morning break. A sandwich, juice, milk, or fruit are
recommended. We ask that you not send students with candy, cookies, chips, crisps, soda or glass containers of any
kind. Please avoid sending foods that require refrigeration or spoil easily. The school canteen offers nutritious
sandwiches, drinks and fruit for sale each day, and serves elementary, middle and high school students.
Health Considerations
If your child has any specific health problems (allergies, dietary restrictions, medications, etc.), please contact
the school nurse at 261-9725 ext. 216 as soon as possible so that all appropriate arrangements or precautions can be
taken. This information is essential for safeguarding your child.
School Transportation
The school has a cooperative relationship with the Bayan Bilingual School for arranging private contract
transportation to and from school. For assistance, contact the bus office at phone: 531-5125 ext. 504.
School Holidays
The school calendar was sent home in September 2005. Holiday dates may be subject to change as dictated by the
Ministry of Education. You will be informed of any changes as the school administration learns about them.
Cell Phones
Cell phones are disruptive in the classroom and may not be used during school time (7:30 AM to 2:00 PM). Students who
are caught using cell phones during school hours will have them confiscated and held in the office. Students are
permitted to use cell phones after school at 2:00 PM out side of the School’s gate.
Valuables in School
Students should not bring money or valuable items to school, in order to avoid having them misplaced or stolen. To
avoid any problems, we ask that all parents support the school’s policy by having the students keep such items out of
school. No toys from home are allowed.
