Dear DAA Families,

As we continue with online learning, I would like to take a moment to share further guidance on how learning will continue should an official alert be issued during the school day.

In line with official guidance, and as part of our ongoing commitment to safety and continuity of learning, we have refined our approach to ensure a calm, consistent, and uninterrupted experience for all students.

We encourage all students to begin their learning day from a safe, interior space within the home, away from windows and glass doors, to help minimize any disruption should an alert occur.

Our approach remains aligned with the guidance associated with MOI alerts, to remain calm, stay indoors, and move to a secure location.

If an official MOI alert is received during a live lesson:

• Students will be guided to remain calm, there is no need to panic

• Move away from windows, balconies, and open or glass areas

• Relocate to a secure interior space within the home

• Follow all instructions from parents or guardians

• Continue the live lesson where possible

• Wait until the official “all clear” notification is received

As students move to a safe location, learning will continue where possible, with teachers remaining online to provide continuity and reassurance.

We also recognize that many of our teachers, like our families, may be supporting their own children during such moments. We appreciate your understanding as they balance this while continuing to support students with care and professionalism.

Our commitment remains firmly focused on the safety, wellbeing, and continuity of learning for every member of our community. Dubai remains safe and fully operational, and this guidance is designed to ensure a calm and prepared response at all times.

Thank you, as always, for your continued partnership and support.

With gratitude,
Helen
