Written by thenewguyana | Sep 3, 2023 3:26:51 AM

We hope that the summer break has been a wonderful experience for you and your child. We look forward to welcoming each student in September and would like to share a few updates that will facilitate his/her return.

General Updates

School Re-opening

School will reopen on September 18.  Note that this was changed from September 11. We apologize for the change. The extra time is needed to finish refurbishing and refreshing our facilities, ensuring an optimized learning environment for our students.

School will close on December 15th. This was changed from December 8th to ensure that the term length is not affected.

Grade 6 classes will resume on September 11th.

Communication Methods

To improve our communication, class-specific WhatsApp groups will no longer be utilized. Messages will now be sent privately to parents via WhatsApp, Email and Text (SMS).  Additionally, all parents will have a Parent Portal on NGS+ to receive real-time updates from their Teacher and Administration. More details will be shared at the Parents Orientation.
