Dear 10-12 Parents,

We are holding parent teacher meetings on Wednesday 15th February after school for Grades 10-12. Appointments will be timetabled and students are expected to attend with their parents. Please email to principal-pa@fpa.sch.ae if you are attending. Should you be unable to attend on that Wednesday but wish to discuss your child’s progress then we can arrange this on zoom or schedule for a later date. Also kindly indicate if a translator is required.

Best Wishes,

Dear Grade 1 & 2 Parents,

We would like to invite you to the Grade 1 & 2 Sports Morning on Monday 13^th February 08.30 – 09.30 in the Infant playground. Weather permitting. Please come along and support your children. After the sports event the children will have a normal morning in school.

Could I ask parents to leave the children with their teachers as usual and then return to the playground for 8:20? Mr David will set up a seating area for parents who need to wait in school. This allows staff to set up the playground and organise the children more easily. A reminder that parents may photograph their own children only, for safeguarding reasons. Do not photograph staff or other adults without their permission. These are the E safety protocols of the school. Thank you for your co-operation. The Grade 1 & 2 team look forward to seeing you on Monday.

If you have any questions on this kindly ask Ms Nicola Kelly Primary Headteacher or Ms Hanan in the school office.

Regards,

Dear 7-12 Parents,

As we complete the examination period we are in the process of finalising the reports and hope to have these emailed to you next week. Once these are received we will be scheduling Parent Teacher Meetings. May I also mention an area of concern with certain students  informing the Deputy Heads in Seniors that their  parents have indicated times for their collection  during the school day or different collection arrangements. We assume this is by messaging to Ipads/laptops. At FPA we take safeguarding very seriously and the policy is parents who wish their children to be released need to call Ms Hanan on the landline or on the school mobile. Usually I am informed, however, the Deputies always are and they sign an exeat which means the student can leave through security to the identified driver. If collection arrangements change Ms Hanan needs to be informed and duty staff on the gates are informed. To those who follow school policy thank you, however this now needs to extend to all families please for the safety of our students.

We look forward to seeing you soon for the meetings. Thank you for your help in this matter.

Best Wishes,

Jan Brettingham

Dear Parents,
It has just been confirmed to us that schools will be required to move to remote learning on Thursday 26th/Friday 27th January as the forecast is for more rain and  poor weather conditions. The staff will provide teaching on seesaw and using zoom.  Hopefully Monday we will be back to normal school. Please call Ms Hanan if you have any questions on this.
Best wishes,

Jan Brettingham, Principal

Dear Parents,

We have just received notification that school is to close due to the rain. If you are able to collect your children then do so from the usual exits, however, if their collection is an issue then we will look after them until you arrive.  Please call Ms Hanan or Ms Maryam for more details.

Best Wishes,

Principal

Dear Parents,

School has been directed by the Ministry of Education that due to an unexpected tropical disturbance with heavy rain and thunderstorms forecast by the NCM school will be closed tomorrow Friday 6^th January. If we are able to provide some classes online we will try, however as we have just been notified then teacher’s will not have brought all their resources home. I will ask staff to put work on seesaw if possible. Thank you for your  kind understanding.

Regards,

Principal
