Dear Primary Families,
The highlight of this week was most definitely our Parent-Teacher Conferences, which took place after school on Monday and Tuesday. These meetings followed the reports issued at the end of last week and provided a valuable opportunity to discuss any points raised in the reports in person.
At this halfway point in the year, it is worthwhile to reflect on your child’s progress and to consider expectations and goals for the second half of the year. We hope that those of you who met with teachers this week found it a meaningful opportunity to celebrate successes while also considering next steps and ways to support your child as we continue through the school year. Of course, if you ever have any concerns or questions for your child’s teachers, please let us know.
As you will see from the list of reminders below, the next few weeks will be busy and filled with a variety of events. Next week, we will have our G3–G6 assembly, followed by Oman Week the week after. During this time, many of our classes will be heading out on day trips, and in the case of Grades 4 and 5, overnight trips. Teachers and classroom assistants are working hard to prepare for these experiences. Please be aware that your child may bring home permission slips—kindly take note of any requirements for those days. I am sure there will be additional reminders before each trip!
Also on the horizon is International Night on 20th February, which promises to be a wonderful event. We hope to see a great turnout from our entire ABIS community. A big thank you to the parents who are leading this event and working hard behind the scenes to make it a success!
This is another short school week, and I hope you all enjoy the extended weekend.
Best regards,
Matthew
Primary Team Lead
