GENERAL RULES
As stated in the school’s
Vision Statement, Alafaq international schools envisions cooperation among staff and parents.
To enable the school to create critical thinkers in a global community, a
shared commitment between school and home is essential. Therefore, the school’s
administration would like to share the following information with the Alafaq
community:
Follow-Up

testing dates can be accessed through the school’s website,
www.alafaqschools.edu.sa using the grade level icons.
Homework is sent on a daily
basis, and can be found in the students’ homework diary.
Attendance and Early
Dismissal
•Parents must ensure their
children arrive to school on time daily, and prevent absences and/or early
dismissal. For unavoidable circumstances, parents are asked to submit a request
in writing explaining the reason their child will be absent or leaving early
from school.
•Parents, siblings, and/or
nannies are asked to remain in the waiting area and wait for the receptionist
to call the child. This is to avoid unnecessary congestion in the halls and
stairways.
•To ensure the safety of all
our students, prior notification must be made to the school if the student is
to leave with a friend, relative, or nanny who is unknown to the school’s administration.
•If your child is being
picked up by someone other than the mother, please fill out the ID card
information, attach a passport size photo, and laminate it for daily use.
Students will not be released to any person without proper ID.
•Testing days are vital for
the success of our students. Therefore, we take these days seriously. Students
who are absent on testing days MUST provide a sick-leave report from their
doctor, or a make-up test will not be made.
