Week Twenty Five - April 11th, 2025
Dear Primary Families,
What a fantastic first week back we’ve had at GEMS International School! It has been such a joy to welcome our students back on campus, hear their stories from spring break, and see the excitement on their faces as they reunited with friends and teachers. The energy around the school has been truly heartwarming!
With the warmer weather returning, we would also like to remind families about the importance of sun safety. Starting Monday, April 21, students will need to wear a hat again during outdoor play times or be asked to play in the shade. Please ensure your child brings a clearly labeled hat to school each day. Let’s work together to keep everyone safe and comfortable in the sun.
As we look ahead, we’re thrilled to remind you that on April 23rd, we invite all students to dress up as their favorite book characters. Whether it’s a classic character or a new favorite, we can’t wait to see the creativity and love for reading come to life in our halls.
Finally, please save the date for our upcoming Student-Led Conferences on Wednesday, May 15. This is a non-instructional day, and there will be no regular classes for students. Sign-up details and more information will be shared with you soon.
Thank you, as always, for your continued support. We’re looking forward to another exciting and enriching term together!
Warm regards,
Sarah Mclean
