Policies

All students enrolled in Al-Mahdi School must comply with its policies:

Behavior

Students must refrain from any behaviour, gesture or word that would undermine the respect of the school, teachers or classmates.

Students are expected to respect school premises and teaching materials.

Students are required to follow the instructions communicated by their teachers.

Students are not to stay in the classroom or to move through the school during recess without permission of the teachers.

We have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to practices that mandate predetermined consequences, typically severe, punitive and exclusionary (e.g., in school suspension, out of school suspension and expulsion), in response to specific types of student misbehaviour (e.g., bullying or disrespecting students / teachers).

Arrival and Dismissal

Students are expected to arrive in school by no later than 8:50 a.m.
Students are to be picked up from school by no later than 2:40 p.m.
The student cannot leave school under any circumstances unless accompanied by parents or a third person who has a written authority.

Absences and tardiness

The student’s future success in life and work requires good attendance habits, which are formed when they are young. It is very important for the educational well-being of the student to attend school regularly and on time.

Students are expected to arrive in school by no later than 8:50 a.m. In case of lateness exceeding 30 minutes, the student must present a note written in his/her school agenda justifying the reason. Repeated tardiness will lead to a meeting with the parents.
If absent, parents must notify the school immediately. If the student is to be absent for more than three consecutive days due to illness, a doctor’s note must be presented to the school upon the return of the student
Any unjustified tardiness or absence may lead the student to be not accepted in the class.
In case of repeated tardiness and absences, parents will be requested to sign a contract with the school to consent that they will ensure that the student will regularly arrive to school on time and on a daily basis.

Uniform

Wearing the school uniform is compulsory for all students.
