Dear KG families,

I hope you had a restful, early Spring Break and that you continue to remain safe and healthy during the current circumstances. We find ourselves in unfamiliar times but the wonderful thing about our GAA community is their flexibility, adaptability and resilience. We thank you for your patience as we have been planning our online learning to ensure students continue their learning journey.

Below are some key points to note as we begin our online learning on March 22nd:

• Please expect online learning to be posted on SeeSaw by 8am every morning (UAE time). How you arrange these activities throughout the day, is at your own discretion. We recommend keeping as much routine as possible as we know our KG students thrive off this.
• There will be a 48 hour feedback window for all activities that students complete and post.
• We encourage you to ‘like’ a post as this will notify us that you have seen and read it.
• Learning goals for the week ahead will be updated and shared with you on Thursdays at 3pm.

We are excited to share this e-learning experience with you and our students. I understand that this can come with some challenges, but also, some wonderful opportunities to explore learning at home. I am happy to support or answer any questions you have, as you navigate your way through the e-learning process.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you need anything during this time.
