Enjoy coffee and conversation with members of Ignite Leadership Team and other Ignite families every Monday from 7:45 - 8:45. A great opportunity to share your feedback, learn of new happenings and meet other families.

This past week we began digging deeper into the curriculum of most subjects and we ended off the week by recognizing Saudi National Day!

One of our goals is to better communicate and streamline the communication. With so many new faces and names, it can be challenging to stay on top of things if we are used to a certain way of communicating. Effective communication helps us build trust, which is what we need in our grade levels, as many of our teachers will see your children again next year and potentially the years after that.

But now that we are back in school and face-to-face, it’s time to put down those screens!
