PUBLISHED ON
We have a strict policy related to the arrival to school and dismissal of students. This applies to the normal school day and any other time that students are in the school’s care, e.g. special events (inside or outside the schools) and sports events outside the schools.
It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to ensure that their children arrive on time and are collected on time. The schools will not be responsible for students who are half an hour late after the assigned dismissal times. In cases of emergency where parents are going to be late in collecting their children, the schools must be notified, and late children will be assigned to designated waiting areas.
Parents are asked to provide the schools’ administration with details and contact numbers of all persons who are to bring or collect their children from the school. It is the responsibility of the parent to keep this information up to date.
The schools will only allow the person, whose name is registered in our files, to collect your child unless you give prior written permission for another one to do so.
The schools do not allow students to be taken from classes early unless they have a very valid reason. In such cases, we ask the parents to provide relevant documentation to verify the reason for the leave. Parents who wish to pick up their children earlier need to pass by the Head of School’s office for an Early Dismissal Permission Slip to be presented to the floor supervisor.

A. School Uniform:
The school uniform is the pride of every learner and must always be clean and clearly marked. Students are requested to wear the school uniform daily. Shorts, Bermudas, jeans, and short skirts are not allowed. Students are also required to wear reasonable footwear. No sandals, crocs, or slippers are permitted; students must always wear closed shoes (black or navy blue) with white socks. The sports uniform should be worn during the P.E. sessions, and students should come to school wearing that uniform. P.E. Uniforms and the school’s official uniforms are available at the school uniform shop. Thamer International Schools believe that uniforms are an integral part of operating a safe and effective school environment. Therefore, all students are required to wear the school uniform unless the school authorizes special “nonuniform” days.
B. Personal Hygiene, Hair, Nails, and Make up:
Personal hygiene is the most important thing. Hair must be clean and neat. Girls’ hair must be tied at all times. Boys' hair should be short and neat. Long hairstyles are strictly forbidden for boys. Unusual hairstyles are not permitted at an educational institution. Learners will immediately be sent home and may only return to school once their hair conforms to the school’s policy. No make-up is allowed, and nail varnish is prohibited. Nails need to be cut and kept clean constantly.
C. Valuable Belongings, Jewellery, and Mobiles:
No valuable items (expensive watches, necklaces, rings, etc.) should be worn in school. Students should leave their valuables at home; these include iPods, iPads, mp3s, electronic games, smart watches, large sums of money, etc. Regarding jewellery, girls may only wear one stud per ear, and boys are not permitted to wear earrings at all. Both boys and girls may wear a wristwatch. No necklaces, anklets, or bracelets are allowed to be worn by students. No facial jewellery is worn, other than the aforementioned ear stud. Mobile phones are strictly forbidden for Primary School students. For middle / senior schools, mobiles are to be turned off and collected by the floor supervisors early in the morning and will be given back only at dismissal time. Violations of this rule will result in confiscating the mobile. In case of an emergency, students may call their parents from the administration. Generally, forgotten homework, books, etc., are not considered an emergency. The school is not responsible for any lost valuable items mentioned or not mentioned above.
PUBLISHED ON
A. ATTENDANCE:
Thamer International Schools put high priority on student attendance. It is important for students to be in school in a consistent routine of study and participation in school activities. This is the best way to build a strong academic record and establish a reputation for involvement and responsibility.
Students who are absent for more than two consecutive days are expected to bring a written excuse from a parent or guardian upon their return to school. Students give these excuses to their Head of School so that the letter is kept in their file. In all cases, parents will be contacted by supervisors when their children are absent to check out the reason for their absence and to arrange a way to send their agenda if applicable. If the absence occurs repeatedly with no valid reason that is accepted by the administration, disciplinary action will be taken. 
Students
Each student is expected to put his/her best effort into every task he/she attempts. Students are expected to participate in all school/class activities. In terms of academic requirements, students are expected to complete all tasks and sit for all examinations. They are responsible for completing work that was missed because of a partial or whole day absence.
Parents
Parents are responsible for:
Attendance
- Ensuring that their children attend school regularly.
- Ensuring that their children arrive at school before lessons commence and they are ready to learn (with all necessary items).
- Explaining the absences of their children from school.
- Taking measures to resolve attendance issues involving their children.
Parents are asked to make holiday travel arrangements which ensure that their children not only attend each school day but also are rested and ready to learn their return. T.I.S. does not support the practice of parents arranging holidays for their children that result in their absence from school. At least 90% attendance throughout the school year is obligatory. The satisfactory completion of a term's academic work requires regular attendance to classes. Making up written work is only a partial substitution for class attendance. A well-planned class provides a learning opportunity for the students every day. If a student is absent, he/she is losing educational benefits, and it is impossible to make up for the missed experience and to gain from this learning experience to the same degree that the student would through the group involvement in the regular class. Participation in class activities cannot be made up of. Furthermore, the absence of a student affects not only his/her progress, but also negatively impacts the process of the group.
A student and his/her parents should work closely with the teacher or supervisor to ensure that any missed work due to an absence is made up as soon as possible. Students are responsible for making up any missed work.
Prior Arrangements/Early Leave:
T.I.S. strongly discourages students from taking extended vacations during a term or leaving school prior to the normal closing date. (Students missing classes lose essential instruction and place increased demands on classroom teachers in the areas of record-keeping, administering make-up work, etc). During the process of planning for an extended absence, parents and students should understand that teachers cannot possibly, in all cases, re-teach the lesson nor provide make-up assignments to cover all the materials that will be missed. Since a student presumably needs to attend the full term to receive proper learning, it is reasonable to expect that extended absences will usually result in a lower grade. However, occasions may arise where an extended absence is necessary. When this is the case, the school will make every reasonable attempt to reduce the damage to the student's educational program.
B.TARDINESS:
Students are expected to be in class on time. Students' late arrival to class causes disruption and interruption to the learning process. Many times, students will miss important information that is impossible to make-up. A student is considered late if he/she enters the room after the class has begun but within the first 5 minutes. Students arriving after 10 minutes will be recorded as absent. Teachers are not allowed to admit late students if they missed more than 10 minutes of the period. All students who arrive late to the first period must receive permission slip from the Head of School’s Office.
Medical Appointments and Absences:
- If a student has a medical appointment during school time, parents must send the head of school a written notification at least one day before the appointment and arrange for their child to be collected from school. However, parents are asked to do everything they can to ensure that their child has full attendance at school. Whenever possible, please make medical and dental appointments after school hours.
End of Term early checkout (Upper School Students)
- When it becomes necessary for a student to leave school prior to the end of term exams, parents are asked to notify the school to make appropriate and necessary arrangements. If a student does not complete all requirements of a grade level, including the final examination, a grade of 5/20 will be given to any missing exam. The school does not make provisions for early final examinations.
ABSENCE FROM WEEKLY / FINAL EXAMS (UPPER SCHOOL STUDENTS)
Weekly Exam: If a student is absent from a weekly exam for a valid reason, a make-up exam will be assigned on the Thursday after school of the second week. The decision whether a student is entitled for a make-up exam will rest solely with the concerned Head of School.
Final Exam: If a student is absent from a final exam will not be given, a make-up exam will be assigned. Under no circumstances will a final exam be administered before the scheduled date of the exam.
PUBLISHED ON
To ensure the security of schools' campuses, we have limited access of parents and visitors during instructional time. Our main gates are manned by uniformed guards 24 hours a day. All parents must put the school sticker on the upper right side of the windshield of the car.
