The first day of school for all PYP & DP students will be on 9th September and on the 11th September for MYP students. We remind you that PYP Pre-nursery & PYP 1 students start with their progressive incorporation period as indicated in Circular 1 on 4th September (please find details below). They will have restaurant services on the 9th September but they will not have bus service, Early morning club or late pick up until Tuesday 10th September.

As we stated in Circular 1, the teachers and student mentors will greet all new students at the entrance to the Co-Learning (in front of the main gate) at 10am, half an hour after school starts, and then they will accompany them to their classes.

On 9th September parents from PYP 4 to PYP8 (Year 2 to Year 6) who wish to do so may accompany their children to class before 9:25 am. After this time, the access doors will be closed and you will have to go to the Secretary’s Office so that your child can join the class at the established time.

Due to the improvements and expansion of the CIT facilities, we ask for your special collaboration during this school year. The car circuit will not be available for now although they are working tirelessly so that we can have it up and running as soon as possible. In the meantime, we have created different meeting points (for children from 6 years old) as well as access points to the school to facilitate the entrance and exit as well as different schedules for the entrance and pick up of students.

On the other hand, we have adapted the drop off times for PYP, MYP and DP to avoid crowds. It is important that we respect the arrival and departure times. No student will be allowed to enter the school before the indicated time.

In addition, this year we advise you to look for alternatives to park even if you have to walk a little bit, for example from Camelia Street and go up the stairs, from Europa Avenue or from other adjacent streets.

Finally, it is essential to respect the entrance and pick up times to facilitate the circulation. Thanks to the new location of the secretary’s office, any student from MYP1 onwards who arrives late will have to wait in the co-working room until the next class in order to avoid interruptions.

PYP INFANTS

It is important not to enter the classrooms before 9:08 a.m. as the teachers will not be available to supervise.

PYP PRIMARY

It is important not to enter the classrooms before 9:08 a.m. as the teachers will not be available to supervise.

MYP

We would like to ask for the collaboration of our older students and avoid driving them to the school gate and encourage them to walk a little bit from somewhere close by that is safe. Students can be dropped off at the health centre, at the roundabout near the school, or at Camelia Street, for example.

DP

We would like to ask for the collaboration of our older students and avoid driving them to the school gate and encourage them to walk a little bit from somewhere close to the school that is safe. In addition, the co-working space will be available from 8:30 am free of charge for DP students.

As we mentioned in Circular 1, Alexia is our digital platform through which you will receive communications and where you will be able to see the daily follow-up of your children (lunch report, exams, homework, etc). During the next few days all new families will receive an email with the necessary credentials to access the platform.

If you forget your Alexia username or password, you must access the Alexia login page, through the click on the link “Forgotten your password?” you will have to enter the email address you provided us with and then click on “I am not a robot” tab, you will receive an email with your username and the link to create a new password.
Remember that this password must have upper case, lower case and numbers with at least 8 characters,

The school will offer some informative sessions for those families who may have any questions, which will take place during the first weeks.

– Monday 23rd September for PYP Infants at 10:00.
– Thursday 24th September for PYP Primary families at 10:00.
– Wednesday 25th September for MYP & DP families at 10:00.

As we mentioned in circular 1, as from Year 5 students will bring their devices to school (tablet or laptop), as part of the BYOD project. In the appendix IV & V you can find information regarding this project and the agreement that the student will sign electronically with their class tutor in order to use their devices.

On 18th, 19th and 20th September we will start with the installation of the MDM in the devices. From this date on, no student will be able to bring their device to the school if this software is not installed.

We remind you that all devices must be formatted before as the installation of this software will delete all content.

Please find a reminder of how to proceed:

Starting this school year, there will be a book loan service for all reading and textbooks. PYP students will be able to use the books during the school year by borrowing them through their teachers. MYP and DP students will be able to pick up their books on 9th & 10th September. Each student will be assigned a parcel of books that will be registered on our platform. It is important that students take care of the books during the year by not writing or underlining them or losing them. At the end of the year, during the last two weeks of June, students will have to return the books. Those books that are not in good condition will be charged to the families in July.

We encourage all MYP and DP students to cover their books to prevent them from getting torn or damaged.

We believe that this is an excellent opportunity to generate responsibility in our students to take care of the books during the year as well as taking care of the environment by not buying the same books every year and reusing them from generation to generation.

Students can pick up the books as follows:

• 9th September for MYP1, MYP2 and MYP3 students.
• 10th September for MYP4, MYP5 and DP students.

Books can be collected from the Co- Working at the school entrance from 9am to 2pm.
