Mrs. Wedad's Message
This is the final edition of Ignite Sparks for this year 2021. As I reflect on what to write to you, I am reminded of your support, enthusiasm, and the great moments we have shared as a school community.
Our dedicated staff, supportive parents, and wonderful students are the strength of Ignite School. Together, we can keep encouraging students to be creative and confident through a tradition of academic excellence while nurturing a strong sense of responsibility and pride.
As we start the winter break on Dec 12th, 2021, I would like to share this important informational message with you. Tuesday, Dec 7th,2021 it was shared on social media and in newspapers that UAE will implement a four and a half-day working week and the weekend has been changed to Saturday and Sunday. These changes will be effective January 1st, 2022, across all government entities. KHDA has released an acknowledgment of this change but no details. Once we get the guidelines from KHDA, we will share a message with these guidelines to help you plan and be ready. January 3rd is the return date.
Ignite School will be open for Semester 2 enrollment as follows:
- Dec. 12th ------Dec. 16th from 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM
- Dec. 26th -------Dec. 30th from 7:30—3:30 PM
- Dec. 19th ----Dec. 23rd school buildings will be closed for cleaning and maintenance work.
January 6th was previously communicated as an early release day; however, in light of the recent changes, the date and time of the Parent-Teacher Conferences will be announced upon our return.
School calendar and schedules are pending and will be released after receiving guidelines from KHDA.
The weekly newsletters will commence again after winter break. Any urgent information will be shared separately.
We wish you a joyful winter break! Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
