Year 6 Production

Dear Parents,
 
The End of Year production is now in full swing, with all the children busy learning their roles.
 
We would like to say thank you to all those people who came to the meeting last Thursday and to everyone who has volunteered to help with costumes and scenery.
 
Two lovely, lovely parents (We weren't paid to say that!) have very kindly taken control of costuming. In order to ensure all the children are dressed in a similar style, they have been and sourced costumes for everyone.
 
Could we therefore, please ask for a donation of 40 dhs for each child, to cover some of the cost of the costumes.  The costume (traditional Indian dress) would then belong to each of you, unless you would like to donate it to the school. ;) The school will be covering the remainder of the costs.
 
Whilst we appreciate that a number of the children may have their own traditional Indian dress, we feel it is important to have uniformity in style and colour, in order to have a wonderful looking production.
 
We would like to thank you once again for your co-operation and all the suport we have received so far (Please don't stop!)
 
If you have any questions please contact either of us.
 
We all look forward to seeing you on the big night (or before if you are available to help out!)
 
Mr. Bebbington and Miss Williamson.

New Invoice Layout

Dear Parents / Guardians,

We installed a new school management system in February as part of the internal growth at Horizon School.  As a result of this new system the layout of our invoices and receipts have changed as some of you may have noticed? 

Please note that it is no longer possible to change these invoices to suit certain parents or companies.  If your company does pay the school fees then you will need to explain that we have upgraded our system and this is how the invoices will be from now on.

We thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter

Kind regards

French for Beginners

Dear Parents,

The children who have attended the after-school Beginners’ French lessons have enjoyed their introduction to another language with Ms Karine and have decided to continue lessons until the end of this term.

They are also willing to organise another Beginners session next term if there are a further ten students interested in forming a new group. This group would meet at 1.30 on Thursday afternoons starting on 1 st May.

The cost in each case will be approximately 30 dirhams an hour, depending on numbers.

If your child is interested in continuing or in joining the new group, please let me know by March 20 th.

Yours sincerely,

To all Horizon families

Do you enjoy the social events at Horizon School?

Do you like having a Swap Shop for uniforms?

If yes, then we need you!!!

The events organised by the PTA and the running of the Uniform Swap Shop are enjoyable and useful aspects of life at Horizon School, and will hopefully continue for a long time yet.

However, both Jane Vail and Cindy Connold will be “retiring” from their roles in PTA and Uniform Swap Shop at the end of the school year, so volunteers are needed to take on running the PTA and/or the Swap Shop!

If you would be interested, please contact Cindy (050 348 5648) or Jane (050 598 4607).  We will be happy to work with you to show you what we do currently and prepare for next year.

Hope to hear from lots of parents!!

All profits will go directly to the Year 5 & 6 teachers to spend on items for the year 5 & 6 classes.

Hope to see you all there and I am sure this will be a successful sale.

Winter UniformDear Parents, As the weather is a little cooler now, children are permitted to wear school uniform tracksuit trousers in the morning but these must be removed in class as the school is kept at a comfortably warm temperature. Therefore, boys – and girls on PE days – must wear shorts under the tracksuit pants. Please remember that only uniform cardigans and/or sweatshirts may be worn in school and that all other winter wear must be removed before entering class. All items are available from Zaks Uniform shop in the Beach Centre. Although Zaks have no cardigans in the smaller sizes at the moment, they have plenty of pullovers/sweatshirts for Foundation children. Please remind your children that uniform hats are still a requirement as the danger of skin cancer is just as great in the winter. We ask for your co-operation in this matter.
