Dear Parents,
Eid Mubarak
I cannot believe how fast the first six weeks of school has gone by. I have had the pleasure of meeting a lot of parents at three events this year: Orientation for new students, the first PTA meeting and the first Parent Dinner held at QLA. For those of you I haven’t met I look forward to seeing you in person at future school events. I am honored to help deliver a high quality education program for your sons. My office and staff are available to answer any questions, hear any concerns. Should you wish to meet in person please email/call the Academic Secretary Muad A. mohammad Makhool at mmakhool@qf.org.qa or 4454 2268 to schedule an appointment.
New students are settling in nicely and old students have seen a number of changes in the Academic Program, which we feel will help them succeed as they move towards graduation.
We are launching a interactive http://qatarleadershipacademy.blogspot.com located at the following link. This blog will keep you up to date on the day-to-day happenings in the Academy and Student Affairs. Important Messages and information will be posted to this site.
Important Academic Changes:
The most important change occurring this year is the higher expectation of academic performance of students. Students receiving a report of anything less than a “C” will be put into an Academic Intervention Program (AIP). AIP will commence the second week after the Eid break and run Sunday – Wednesday from 15:20-16:20. Teachers representing all subject areas will be available during these sessions. Students late or absent from required sessions will be dealt with according to the active behavior policy, which includes: verbal warning, written warning, suspension and possible counseling out of QLA. QLA is committed to providing every support to help your son achieve academic excellence.
Once again have a wonderful break.
Yours truly,
James Steckart
Head of Academic Affairs
Qatar Leadership Academy
