Congratulations to all the winners of the Quran Competition!
A kind reminder to our community of parents and drivers that parking in these marked spots is only for people of determination. Let's be respectful to those who truly are in need of these parking spots. As the weather is now warmer, we recognize that having to wait until the gates open is uncomfortable under the Dubai sun. That is why we have decided to open the gates 10 minutes earlier during afternoon pickup. Gates normally open at 2:35 daily, and 1:35 on Tuesdays. Going forward, they will open at 2:25 daily and 1:25 on Tuesdays. We ask parents to wait in the shaded areas outside of the building until pick-up time.
Remember our security guards are out there in the morning and afternoon to help keep our families safe so we ask that you please respect and follow their guidance as they direct traffic for our community.

You must indicate your intentions to re-enroll either through the GEMS Parent Portal or the GEMS Connect App using your GEMS parent username and password and you must do this for each child.
