Week Twenty Four - March 21st, 2025
Dear Primary Families,
As we wrap up Term 2, we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for your continued support and partnership. It has been a wonderful term filled with learning, growth, and community celebrations, and we are so proud of everything our students have accomplished.
A special congratulations to the winners of this week’s Writing Competition! Your creativity and dedication shone through, and we are so proud of all the students who participated. Writing takes courage, and every student who entered deserves to be celebrated for their hard work and effort. Well done!
We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to our Inclusion Department for their efforts in supporting Neurodiversity Awareness Week. Through their work, our students have had the opportunity to learn more about embracing differences and fostering an inclusive, supportive school community.
As we head into the Eid and Spring Break, we wish all those celebrating a joyful and blessed Eid with family and friends. May this break be a time of rest, reflection, and happiness for all.
We look forward to welcoming our students back on Monday, April 7th, for the first day of Term 3, refreshed and ready for another exciting chapter of learning and growth.
Wishing you a wonderful break!
Warm regards,
Sarah Mclean
Parents have all received a notification to sign up for the Toddle platform. This is an exciting enhancement to our parent communication, and this year you will receive weekly updates through the Toddle platform.
This IB affiliated platform will offer opportunities for parents to remain up to date with their child's academic progress.
The below class pages will host resources for parents and will no longer have weekly messages. All information will be sent through Toddle, so please inform your class teacher if you have any trouble registering.
Any absence (whether it is planned or unplanned ) must be communicated via email to the homeroom teacher and gis_primaryleaverequest@gemsedu.com by 8:00 AM. STS/bus users must also copy the STS manger on the email. vijesh.kumar@sts-group.com
A planned or extended absence beyond 2 days requires the completion of an absence request form
Absence for more than 3 days requires prior approval if planned or a doctors clearance for illness related leave (in some cases a medical certificate is requested )
Parents are urged to schedule medical, dental and other appointments after school hours or during vacations.
A request must be submitted before a child can be released once in school for health and safety and reasons.
Filling in the form 24hrs in advance is expected where possible.
At the time of collection, please come to the Primary Reception at Gate 4.
