These fortunate and well-deserving students successfully ran for elections in their homerooms and have now been recognized as our new crop of ES leaders. They will assist their teachers and lead in classroom, grade-level, and division-wide student activities, discussions and decisions.
As part of our internal leadership orientation, some of our Middle School Student Council (MSSC) leaders welcomed Grade 4 Elementary School Student Council (ESSC) leaders.
Part of leadership is learning how to speak and present your ideas. Each weekly session includes time for students to express themselves and receive feedback on their discussion. Based on today’s discussion, our student leaders are feeling more engaged in school life and proud of their new responsibilities and contributions as well as the way that their classmates see them in a new light!
After last Friday’s celebration of Hag al Lailah which many of you enjoyed, this past week was also chock full of events including UAE Mother’s Day, Sports Days for ES and MS and ending off with our Spring Parent-Teacher Conferences.
Other exciting events took place on Tuesday and Thursday for parents of next year’s Freshman 9th Grade Class which will become the Graduating Class of 2026! Information was shared about credit hours, required and elective course selection, and student pathways. We are excited about connecting students’ needs and passions over the next four years as they make their way to college and into their career trajectories!
If you are an 8th grade parent and missed this week’s sessions, don’t worry as we will have several more in April and May.
The next and 3rd parent session will be held upon our return from Spring Break and will be announced shortly.
