Next week you will receive details about how to view the grades 1 through 6 Science Fair 2021 online.\u00a0 So far I’ve been so very impressed with the developing website, in particular with the quality of the learning shared by our primary students.\u00a0 Thank you to the teachers who have guided students through this process, and of course to all of you parents whom I’m sure were involved at home over the past few weeks.\u00a0 Well done everyone, especially our amazing students!<\/p>\n
We are so excited to welcome back all of our primary learners, and teachers, onto campus this Sunday, Jan. 17.<\/strong>\u00a0 Everyone has had a chance to isolate at home after holiday travels, and our campus has been deep cleaned, with all safety protocols in place to ensure a safe return for everyone.\u00a0 Students will be reminded about the importance of wearing masks, washing and sanitizing hands frequently, maintaining social distance, not sharing food, utensils or materials, and general health protocols that will make returning to school a healthy and happy experience for the ABIS community.\u00a0 Please speak with your child at home and help them to remember and practice these safety measures.\u00a0 It has been a month now since they were at school and receiving the same message from home and school will help them be successful, and keep everyone healthy and safe.<\/p>\n You are now aware of the return to full days for all students from grades 1-12 at ABIS.\u00a0 Our drop off procedure will remain the same, with students arriving through the main front gate between 7:50am and 8:15am<\/strong> each morning. Students will be in class by 8:20am each morning for attendance and the Oman national anthem before beginning classes. As usual, students will be temperature checked in vehicles, and students with temperatures above 37.5C will be double checked by our school nurse.\u00a0 If the temperature is still high, the student will not be allowed on campus.\u00a0 This procedure is the same for all staff and teachers.\u00a0 Students will then sanitize their hands and proceed to their learning areas along the clearly marked footpaths.<\/p>\n The exception to this is our newly arriving KG 1 & 2<\/strong> students.\u00a0 For the first week, parents with children who require a little extra time to be ready for their first day of school may pull into the parking stalls prior to the main gate and assist their children before saying goodbye. The ECC teachers Ms. Celine and Ms. Lauma will then escort the students to their classrooms. If you do not feel your child will need this support, you may follow the same protocols as other grades and drop your child off at the main gate.<\/p>\n Dismissal time for grades 1-12 will be 3:20pm.\u00a0 Dismissal time for KG 1, 2, and 3 students will be 1pm.<\/strong><\/p>\n After all the strangeness that Covid has brought to our world, and the different approaches to learning we have used since August, we are looking forward to a fresh new start to 2021.\u00a0 Having all of our students and staff present on campus is truly something to celebrate!<\/p>\n As always, contact me or your child’s teachers if you require any clarifications about school procedures or classroom learning.\u00a0 Maeve<\/p>\n
