Dear Primary Families,

Welcome back from the 5-day break! We hope you had a wonderful time with friends and family.

After School Activities (ASAs)
Please be informed that After School Activities (ASAs) will conclude this Friday, February 28th. The third trimester is scheduled to begin on March 31st and will end on June 5th. Additional information regarding the new sessions will be provided shortly. We kindly request that you pick up your students at 2:30 PM.

Fasting Notification Form
To accommodate our students' needs during fasting, it is very important for parents to fill out the fasting notification form. This ensures we can provide the necessary support.

Uniform Reminders
This is an important reminder that students are expected to wear their uniform daily. 

Students should be in uniform each day. On Fridays, elementary students may wear their house t-shirts with either their school uniform bottoms (shorts, skirts, pants) or PE shorts (if they have PE on Fridays). 

 

Behavior Expectations
We greatly value your partnership and continue to reinforce our core values each day. We encourage students to show respect, responsibility, empathy, integrity, and courage—values we hope will become an integral part of who they are.

Thank you for your continued support.
