Dear Parent, Carers and GEMS World Academy Community,
We are pleased to inform you that LearnOS is now being introduced at GEMS World Academy, and as parents and carers, you will have access to this platform starting this week.
What is LearnOS?
LearnOS offers a seamless blended learning experience that is personalized and enhances the educational experience of students. Powerful and intuitive, LearnOS facilitates on-the-go learning while maintaining the highest standards of safety and security. LearnOS enables teachers, parents, carers and students to connect and stay up-to-date about upcoming activities, both academic and non-academic. 

For Parents: A consolidated view of your child's academics, attendance, reports, classes, resources and more. You can also track school transport in real-time and manage fee payments. 
Available Support:
Orientation sessions will be offered by the LearnOS team to parents and carers, to guide you on how to navigate LearnOS. Should you have any queries or issues, there is a dedicated school support team to assist. Additionally, the in-app feedback feature allows you to share your thoughts directly with the support team. Moreover, we will also have a technical staff member as resident support in school to help you with any clarification or questions.
What’s next?
You can download the app from the App Store or Play Store for iOS and Android HERE, or access it via the web at https://gems.learnos.com. To log in, simply use the same credentials as GEMS Connect. If you have forgotten your password, this can be reset from the login page of LearnOS. A login user guide is attached to this email.
Thank you for your continued support and trust as we continue to innovate for the betterment of our students.Kind Regards,Sahar Taheri | Corporate and Community Engagement Manager

CIS Survey

Dear Parents, Carers and GEMS World Academy Community,
The leadership team, teachers, and staff of GEMS World Academy are interested in what you think about our Academy. Please take a moment to complete the CIS Community Survey, which will help identify the strengths of the school and areas for improvement.   The survey will take approximately 10 minutes to complete. You should complete one survey per child enrolled in the school. We hope you can spare some time to help the school in its desire to improve. The survey will be available until October 23rd. 
To access the survey, please click on this link: https://survey.cois.org/s3/CIS-Community-Survey-for-Parents-Guardians-GEMS-World-Academy-Dubai?path=2LA
If you have any questions or need support, please contact Peter Bonner: p.bonner_gwa@gemsedu.com.
Thank you very much for completing the survey.
Kind regards
Sahar Taheri | Corporate and Community Engagement Manager
