Dear Primary Families,
What a week! It was wonderful to welcome students back to school on Sunday morning and it was great to see so many smiles as friends greeted friends and our new students joined our ABIS community.
Thank you to all the teachers and classroom assistants who worked so hard to make the first week such a success and thank you to you, the parents, for preparing your children for their return to school. Also, of course, thank you to the students for settling so well and beginning the year in such a positive way.
Please mark your calendars for next Wednesday, August 30th, from 5pm-6:30pm. This is when we will host our Parent Information Evening, where you are invited to visit the school and the learning areas, as well as meet all the teachers working with your child(ren) this academic year. You will receive detailed information about our curriculum and our PYP program, as well as important things like timetables, classroom routines and homework expectations. There will be 2 sessions held for each grade level, so that you can attend more than one, and you will also have the opportunity to meet all Arabic and specialist teachers and ask them any questions you might have about their programs.
You will soon be receiving some information about our After School Activity program, which is scheduled to begin in the week of September 10th. There will be a variety of activities on offer and available and we encourage you to speak with your child(ren) to identify ones which they may enjoy.
Again, thank you for your support this week. I wish you an enjoyable weekend.
Best regards,
Matthew
