Welcome Back to School

Dear parents,

We are thrilled to welcome back the students in person. As communicated before the safety and health of everyone remains our top-priority.

We want to take a moment to outline some essentials guidelines for your perusal :

• Temperature check needs to be operated in the forehead , temporal area otherwise the results are not accurate. We will not implement a mal practice within the most important measure of screening; so please show cooperation .
• All students from Pre-K and up are required to wear a mask on campus, for those with serious health issues that will need accommodations please let us know. 
• GWA Students who have not submitted their medical yet or have submitted it over enrollment and have been contacted for this matter needs to email it to nurse@gwa.ac.ma : Most of the medical forms were not uploaded correctly in Powerschool.
• If your kid tests positive to COVID-19 or has been in contact with someone who tested positive , let us know via email by sending us the results of the testing : Accommodations and communication to teachers and principals will be made accordingly.
• If you are a GWA family with more than one kid and somehow one of the siblings tests positive, we will ask you to quarantine all of your kids and propose online over the convalescence period.

Please keep in mind that every measure implemented has one common goal : The safety of your kids and our students while being on campus.

Looking forward to collaborating with you this year.
