Registration

Registration for the school year beginning in September is held in June.  Students not enrolled by June for reasons covered by relevant school provisions may enroll at any time up to the day before classes begin for the new school year.

Classes begin on the 11th of September and end on the 15th of June of the year following.  Any changes in these dates will either be announced by the Ministry of Education or parents will be notified by school Administrators.

Grades

Parents will be notified by mail ahead of time about any changes to or modifications of the timetable, as well as official holidays.
The Administration Offices are open Monday through Friday 08:30 to 16:00.
During the summer term and holidays, office hours may vary.

Student Absences

Student attendance is mandatory, and student absences may only be excused in the event of an emergency. In such cases, parents must notify the School immediately and communicate the reasons for a student’s absence.
When students return to school, they must submit to the relevant Assistant Principal’s Office a physician’s note (or a note signed by their parents if a student is absent for only 1-2 days).
If a student’s absence was due to contagious disease, a physician’s note must clearly state that the contagious period has elapsed and it is safe for the student to return to school.

Medical Exemption from Physical Education

Students may be exempted for the day upon written request by a parent, submitted by the student to the Vice Principal’s Office before the beginning of the first period.
For long-term exemption, a physician’s note must be submitted to the Principal’s Office.

Medical Office

A Medical Office staffed by a nurse and supervised by a pediatrician is maintained at the school. The nurse is available during school hours to administer first aid in the event of an emergency. First-grade students must be examined by the school doctor prior to school admission. All medical findings are noted in a student’s medical record, and archived in the office. A second medical examination is scheduled for all students in the 4th grade.
At the beginning of each school year, parents must submit the medical assessment notes required by law and the College for the participation of students in Physical Education.
