Dear Parents,
May we welcome you to the new academic year, although again in challenging circumstances. To all who experienced loss of home and property during the recent flash flooding please let us know if your children are affected in any way or there are things we need to take into consideration when helping them. The school has been repaired and the outside areas cleared and made safe thanks to the prompt action of the government and the school board.
Covid protocol is still in place so the school will require PCR’s with 72 hours of entry for all students and staff. Staff will continue to test weekly until we are advised otherwise and students who are NOT vaccinated will need to do the same. Vaccinated students test every 14 days but the school medical team must have proof of vaccination which should be sent to pcr@fpa.sch.ae .All pcr test results are sent to pcr@fpa.sch.ae please or with students in middle school and seniors as a hard copy given or the Al Hosn app shown to the duty staff member who will photograph this.
Entry to school will be exactly the same as last year with Primary entrance for children KG1 to Grade 4 and then staff will direct you to the correct doors. Middle School Grade 5 & 6 at the back of the school, Grades 7 & 8 through yellow gate in the main car park and Grade 9/10 through mauve gate and Grade 11/12 through pink gate both main entrance. Masks are required and temperature checks made.
Term starts on Monday 29th August. The school day will revert to normal timings. Grade 1 – Grade 12 from 07.50 to 15.00. Monday to Thursday and until 11.50 on Friday. School will open at 07.30 unless a parent makes a special request to Ms Hanan in the school office, and this should be for an urgent reason. KG1 and KG 2 can be collected at 14.00, however you may request for transport reasons, that your child is collected at 15.00 and our teaching staff will provide supervision. This must be confirmed in an email to Ms Hanan our parent liaison, on admin@fpa.sch.ae. As the weather cools, we hope to start the extracurricular programme again and will keep you informed.
School uniform is available for online purchase. Kindly note primary uniform extends to Middle school Grades KG1 to Grade 6. Senior section skirts and boys’ trousers need to be made at the tailors and these should be as picture. They can be purchased in Dubai at Marks and Spencer and other big clothing stores. We have included diagrams of these. Footwear has been a concern las year. On PE days only trainers may be worn on other days proper black school shoes and without raised heels on those worn by girls. Again Dubai/Sharjah stores have a good selection of these, and they can be found in some of the Fujairah malls. Girls should have their hair tied back or put up and shaylas should be worn pinned not hanging loose. This for safety reasons. Jewellery is not allowed but girls with pierced ears may wear studs.
There is a uniform file attached and an order form with price list email this completed to administrator@fpa.sch.ae and the order will be prepared for collection at security.
Should you have any concerns then please telephone the school office or email admin@fpa.sch.ae.
With best wishes from our team for the academic year 2022-23.
Regards,
Jan Brettingham Ms
