LEARNING WELL, ENJOYING LIFE, EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS Al Rayyan Record 27th November, 2014 Dear Parents, Welcome to the newsleer. I recently met with the class Parents and Campus Parent Representave to discuss progress made and any concerns. It was a very posive meeng and some very useful suggesons were made to connue to improve our campus. You will hear details about different projects once we are in a posion to start work on them. Drop in for Coffee! I would like to invite parents to drop in to the Staff Room for coffee on the first Thursday of every month. It will be a chance to have a parent coffee shop at Rayyan and for those of you who are free, to meet and have a chat. I hope you will be able to use this opportunity to meet other parents informally and make new friends. Parking I realise that parking is now becoming more and more congested in the morning and aſternoons. To alleviate the problem, from Sunday, Staff will be using a new parking area and gate to enter school. This will free all of the space at the front of the school for parents and children. However, there are two things I must insist on:- Parents or drivers, who park on the opposite side of the road, must bring their children into school. Security Guards are there to control traffic and make sure it is running smoothly. They have strict instrucons not to take children across the road-it is not their responsibility. Parents and drivers must make sure they leave at least one metre between the wall and their parking place to allow parents and children to walk safely into school. Thank you for your cooperaon with this. I will connue to monitor the flow of traffic to see if further improvements can be made. 30th December– Year 6 Fujairah Trip 2nd December—EY2 Beach Trip/Y5 Art and Craſt Workshop/Y1 and Y2 French Assembly 4th December—Drop in Coffee Morning 8th December— Y4 Zubara Trip 9th December—Music Assembly 11th December—ECAs End/ Reports out to Parents Year 5 creang a key note presentaon in Qatar History
