We wanted to bring to your attention an important weather alert regarding impending rain forecasted for our area starting this weekend and potentially extending until Monday.

As it stands, Monday 12th February, is intended to be a regular school day. We will continue with our normal schedule unless we notify you that the school is closed due to adverse weather conditions.

In the event of a school closure on Monday, please note that we are committed to ensuring that learning continues. To facilitate this, we ask you to check your parent code (PCode) email and Google Classroom announcements for further instructions and resources provided by the teachers. Students from Year 3 onwards are able to access their resources using their Student code (SCode) account as they usually do in lessons. Attendance will be recorded based on the completed work of students.

We ask parents to be on standby and keep a close eye on your email and social media channels for updates regarding any developments. It is important to stay informed and prepared, especially during times of unpredictable weather conditions.

If you haven't already, we encourage you to connect with us on social media platforms for real-time updates and information. Follow us @ASPSdubai on all social media channels to ensure you receive the latest news and announcements directly from us.

The Parent Engagement session on Phonics and Reading for Year 2 parents, scheduled for Monday 12th February, has been postponed to 22nd February, Thursday. 

We understand the importance of your involvement in your child's education and appreciate your understanding in this matter. Further details regarding the venue and timings will be communicated to you soon. 

 Lensman, the professional photographers we are partnering with this year, will be visiting our school to capture students' photographs on the following dates:

Please note that all students will be photographed individually for school records as well as included in their class group photo, which will be available for purchase to all families. A separate communication will be shared with families about the order form and student photograph package. 

Our annual Sports Days are not merely a day of competition, games and exercises but a culmination of the hard work our student have put into their physical education. It is also a celebration of health, fitness, teamwork and most importantly, fun!

As we wrap up our annual Sports Days with the youngest learners of our school community, it is time to relive some of the most heartwarming moments that filled our days with joy and excitement!

Our students in FS1 have showcased their boundless energy and infectious enthusiasm on their sports day, and every moment was filled with joy, laughter and pure determination.

Our FS2 students have been actively engaged in a wide range of physical activities, learning about the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle and the benefits of staying fit. From learning fundamental movements to developing coordination and balance, each session in PE class has contributed to their overall growth and wellbeing.

We would like to thank all the parents and guardians who cheered on our students, our teachers who tirelessly guided and encouraged them and most importantly, to our incredible students for their enthusiasm and sportsmanship.

Proud moment for ASPS Secondary School as our talented students showcased their skills among 23 schools and over 150 participants at the IQRA' Inter School Literacy event held at Deira Private School!
