Dear Al Dhafra parents,
I hope that you are safe and well.
Due to the temporary closure of the school, we will be initiating our Distance Learning schedule from Tuesday 7th September. We are very aware that we have been asking a great deal from our younger students and, therefore, we have made some changes to the schedule and format of teaching and learning. The changes are outlined in the points below:
KG - Grade 2
Students in KG - Grade 2 will now participate in 3 online lessons per day. During the week, teachers will deliver 5 English, 5 Maths, 4 Arabic and 1 Islamic lesson. Their sessions will last for approximately 30 minutes each and a new time table will be provided for all parents on Microsoft Teams and ClassDojo.
Grades 3 - 5
Students in these sections will continue with their normal timetable but lessons will be reduced to 30 minutes. Lessons will still occur at their normal times but they will be shorter. Students should attend all lessons as usual and attendance will be taken.
We would like to thank all of the parents who have provided feedback over the past two weeks.
We are grateful for your feedback and hope we have made it easier in the new model.
Do get in touch if you have any further questions or comments.
Kind regards,
Mr Liam, Head of Primary

Good morning parents,
Greetings from Al Dhafra
We are well under way with our preparations for a return to school but as you can imagine there is an enormous amount to do.
This is just for parents who have decided to have a blend of face to face and distance learning.
* Health Declaration Form
The attached form must be completed for all children who are returning to school. If you are doing totally distance learning it is not required.
A separate form (either in English or Arabic) is needed for each child.
Whilst we have sent them to everyone please can we ask that just KG1 to Grade 5 parents return them now. Without a completed form on our files, your child will not be allowed to enter school.
Please could parents return these to the supervisors as per the instructions below:
KG1 Ms Zainab zainab.alzahbie@dhafraschools.com
KG2 Ms Elena petrisor.gabriela@dhafraschools.com
Grade 1 Mr Noor nour.negm@dhafraschools.com
Grade 2 Mr Othman othman.ahmad@dhafraschools.com
Grade 3 Mr Marouane marouane.kraifa@dhafraschools.com
Grade 4 Ms May may.elaboukatou@dhafraschools.com
Grade 5 Mr Basem basem.wahdan@dhafraschools.com
Details for where to send the forms for older students will be sent nearer the time.
Thank you and best wishes

حضرات أولياء الأمور الكرام ،،،،
تحية طيبة و بعد ،،
أتمنى أن تصلكم رسالتي هذه و أنتم في أتم صحة و عافية بإذن الله تعالى.
كما تعلمون جميعا ً فإننا نستعد للعودة إلى المدرسة نهاية هذا الشهر ؛ إن طبيعة فيروس كورونا كوفيد 19 قد فرضت علينا تعلم ممارسات جديدة تختلف عما اعتدنا عليه في حياتنا اليومية العادية.وبسبب ذلك ، فإن طريقة الدخول إلى المدرسة قد
تغيرت بشكل جذري حيث يتوجب عليك الحصول على موعد مسبق للسماح بدخول المبنى المدرسي. ستكون هذه المواعيد فقط لمراجعة قسم التسجيل أو قسم الشؤون المالية أو مسؤولة التواصل مع الأهل . مرفق أدناه البريد الإلكتروني للأشخاص المعنيين .
إذا تم تحديد موعد ،نرجو من حضراتكم ضرورة الالتزام بالوقت المحدد. و كذلك الحصول على نتيجة فحص كوفيد 19 سلبية و صالحة (لمدة 72 ساعة) على تطبيق الحصن.
إذا رغبت بحجز مواعيد أخرى مع أشخاص آخرين في المدرسة ، فإنها ستكون مواعيد افتراضية أي عن بُعد عبر الإنترنت.
لك أن تتخيل مدى انشغالنا حاليا ً، سواء للاستعداد للفصل الدراسي الجديد أو تقديم كافة أنواع الدعم للعديد من طلبة النظام البريطاني "كامبريدج" ، لذلك فإننا نطلب من حضراتكم عدم تحديد موعد إلا في الحالات الطارئة أو للضرورة القصوى . سيتم الرد على رسائل البريد الإلكتروني بأسرع وقت ممكن .
نود أن نلفت انتباه الجميع أنه و بمجرد بدء الفصل الدراسي لن يُسمح لأولياء الأمور دخول المبنى المدرسي خلال ساعات الدوام المدرسي اطلاقا ً .
أما فيما يتعلق بعملية الدفع، فيرجى الرجوع إلى الرسائل المتعلقة بالدفع عبر الإنترنت وما إلى ذلك للمساعدة في تخفيف أعداد المتواجدين في المدرسة .
سيتم تزويدكم بأي معلومات أو تطورات جديدة عن طريق البريد الإلكتروني و تحميلها على موقع المدرسة ؛ لذلك نطلب من حضراتكم ضرورة الاطلاع على موقع المدرسة بانتظام و ذلك لمعرفة آخر المستجدات.
مع أجمل التحيات
الأستاذ روجر

Dear Parents,
I hope this finds you safe and well.
As you know we are preparing for a return to school at the end of the month. The nature of COVID19 is such that we are all having to learn new practises for what we used to assume was normal everyday life.
In this regard, access to school has changed drastically. You will now only be allowed to visit school if you have a previously booked appointment. These appointments will only be available with Registration, Finance, or with Parent Liaison. All of their emails are listed below.
If an appointment is made we ask that you keep very strictly to the time given. You will need to have a valid (72 hours validity) negative Covid19 test result on the Al Hosn app.
Other appointments can be made with other people at school but these must be carried out online as virtual appointments.
As you can imagine it is an extremely busy time both with getting ready for the new term and with supporting our many Cambridge candidates so we would ask that you only seek an appointment in an absolute emergency. We will continue to answer emails as soon as we can.
Once term starts, parents will not be allowed to enter the premises at all during school hours. Please refer back to letters regarding online payment etc to help alleviate numbers.
We will keep you informed of further developments both by email and on the school website. Please check back regularly.
Best wishes,
Mr Roger
Dear Parents,
Greetings from Al Dhafra
This morning we received a new directive from the National Crisis and Emergencies Management Committee, through ADEK, stating that when term starts students in KG1 to G5 will be allowed either to come to school for face to facer learning (within our alternating days model) or to choose 100% distance learning online. Students from G6 to G12 will only be allowed 100% distance learning during the first 4 weeks whilst approval is sought for them to join on site at a later day.
This has caused a little confusion and I would like to clarify a couple of points. Firstly, there is no delay to the start of term for anyone. It is just a change in choice for the older children. We will operate a normal day of lessons and attendance is compulsory for all whether on site or online.
Lessons will be live streamed from the school with students from G5 down joining either on site or online whilst G6 and above are totally online. I repeat these lessons will be compulsory one way or the other.
Best wishes, as ever,
Mr Roger
