The response to our messages asking parents to come in and sign the Parent School Contract (mandated by KHDA) has been terrific. We have moved from 30% signings to 64% as of last night. It is critical that we get 100% of all signatures (returning students – we will be working with all new students as soon as the deadline of the 1st of October has passed). If we do not achieve this goal then KHDA will cut the school off from some essential services that they offer. I am also aware that there have been frustrations with some of the technical limitations of the KKHDA system. Thank you to all of you who have demonstrated such great patience. Please remind your friends to sign if they have not already done so.
GEMS World Academy will be closed Sunday, October 2 in observance of Hijri New Year and reopen Monday, October 3.

Despite having a week off after only two weeks of school, students returned this week ready and eager to jump right back into the routines that were quickly established in early September. I am very proud of our students and how they have demonstrated responsibility so early on in the academic year. A few important reminders for parents regarding Parent Portal, iSAMS and KHDA Parent School Contract below GWA has received wonderful news that, for a second year in a row, the school has achieved Green Flag status. The process is very rigorous and assesses the school’s adherence to environmental processes and policies which flow through all aspects of the school’s activities. We specifically thank the student work teams and the coordinators who have worked so hard to raise awareness of environmental issues and to put their ideas into action. This also serves as a great opportunity for even more students to sign up to be part of environmental initiatives. |
