Dear  Parents    In  late  August  I  received  a  circular  from  ADEC  requesting  that  I  make  adjustments  to  the  school  calendar  that  had  been  approved  on  April  4,  2014  and  subsequently  shared  with  you.  Along  with  all  other  schools  in  Abu  Dhabi,  I  then  re-­‐submitted  our  calendar  to  ADEC  for  approval.  I  now  have  confirmation  that  the  Winter  Break  will  be  extended  to  January  8th  with  classes  resuming  on  January  11th.  Therefore  the  Winter  Break  will  now  run  from  December  21st  until  January  8th.      I  can  also  confirm  that  the  final  day  for  students  has  been  pushed  back  to  July  2,  2015.      I  know  that  many  of  you  have  made  holiday  plans  based  on  the  previously  approved  calendar  and  I  regret  any  inconvenience  these  changes  may  result  in.      Best  Regards,
