IMPORTANT SIGN UP DETAILS 

• Registration of all internal (free and offered by DAA Staff) and external (paid and offered by External Providers) activities will be through the ESM portal. 

• In order to provide and collect all the information in a timely manner we require our DAA parents to fill out all fields and information asked of them during sign ups on the ESM portal.

• Please ensure that you have the following information at hand before signing up and entered correctly, leaving no field blank as that requires for us to enter information manually for each student significantly delaying the data collection process:

                Name of student, Student ID number,  Parent’s email, Grade, Section, Contact number

• Enter your child’s name and spelling as it appears in GEMS connect (parent portal) as well as their Student ID number.

• Please note that the Student ID number is not the same as their Emirates ID number. You may find the student ID number on your GEMS connect and the back of your lanyard. For example- 12400100234567 or 234567

• The phone number and email address entered should be in use as all after school activity communication will be sent to that email address and phone number

• For any information regarding external activities (paid activities run through ESM external providers) please reach out to jay.k@esm.ae (copying in athletics_daa@gemsedu.com), for internal activities (free run through DAA Staff) please reach out to athletics_daa@gemsedu.com

• Our team will take one week after registrations close for data collection

• Confirmation of registration for external activities will be sent through external providers while confirmation for all internal activities will be shared through the Athletics Office (confirmation of registration for internal activities from the ESM portal does not confirm your child’s spot in the activity of interest) 

While registrations have closed for most of our internal activities, the following activities remain open for registration until Friday the 17th of January:

• Lego and creative play- Grade 1

• Pen pal club- Grade 3

• Mindful coloring- Grade 5

• Jeopardy- Grade 7 & 8

• Chess - Grade 8

We looking forward to welcoming our students to an exciting program!
