Dear NMS families,
Trust you are all doing well and staying safe this holiday season. We have spent the summer
planning and preparing for a safe return of our students in a blended environment. We have
now received approval from KHDA for our plan.
“Thank you for submitting your School Re-Opening Readiness Plan. We’ve reviewed your plan,
and we’re happy to let you know that it meets all the requirements.”
Regulations & Permits Commission Knowledge & Human Development Authority
As discussed with you early July and further to that, the survey that we had sent out, we are all
gearing up to reopen school post the summer break, with our Blended Learning model.
However, we do understand that you may yet have queries about the reopening plans, and this
Parent Orientation aims to throw some light on our re-opening.
