1 Primary School Newsletter P.O.Box 6446, Al Thanya Street, Umm Al Suqeim, Jumeirah, Dubai UAE Tel: Fax: Web: Dear Parents, Thursday 3rd March 2016 Number 21 View from my office Emirates International School - Jumeirah As you will be aware, drop off routines have changed due to the closure of the side road next to the Primary School. In an effort to alleviate traffic congestion and to ensure students are dropped safely to classrooms we have opened a route through school for drop-off only. For those using the new drop off zone, please read the following guidelines and share them with your children where necessary. We will also be reminding children of the routines to ensure their safety at all times: Sunday 28th February 2016 The area is for drop-off only should you need to park your vehicle and leave it unattended, please use the outside spaces Students are to cross at the marked crossing points to ensure their safety. Members of SMT and other staff are available to help. Traffic should remain patiently in single file, unless advised to pass another vehicle by a member of the supervision team this is of paramount importance to ensure all small children are visible and not obscured between vehicles Traffic should not exceed the speed limit of 15 km per hour (to be confirmed by Ahmed) The front gate will close at 7.45am and we expect all vehicles to be off site before 7.50am to allow students safe passage around the campus. Please ask your children to look and listen for other cars, as they are leaving your vehicle we will reinforce this in class time as well Should you wish to drop a very young child, teachers from the Primary School are on hand to escort them to class We thank you for your cooperation in this matter as we work together to make drop off time as safe as possible. We have our DSIB Inspection dates. The team will be with us from Monday March 14th through to Thursday March 17th. Please go to this parent survey link Parents which has been sent from KHDA.
