Academic Calendar and events are posted on the school website and communicated via email and Google Classrooms. A one-page calendar is also shared with the parents each year, during the Parents Orientation and posted to the School's Telegram Channel.

Absences, whether planned or unplanned, must be reported to the teacher at least 24 hr in advance. Coordination for additional academic support following an absence is the responsibility of the student and the parents. Parents are expected to support their child's learning and catching up to the lessons, by reading the teacher's notes and asking questions if needed. Parents are expected to provide additional academic support in covering the missed lessons and the submission of the assigned homework/projects. If additional support is needed, parents should reach out to the teacher to set up a tutoring time, so the child does not fall behind (payment is required if the tutoring time exceeds 10-15 minutes in a week).

Teachers are available during the week, via email, chat, or video call, to help answer questions and support students' learning. If the time needed for the additional support exceeds 10-15 minutes, parents should coordinate with the school for paid private tutoring (prorated based on the published private lessons tuition rate).

Unplanned closures or schedule changes may occur in rare cases when an unforeseen circumstance poses a safety risk to students and families. These may include a severe winter blizzard, black ice, flooding, a fire or building emergency, or any other situation that makes it unsafe to hold in-person classes. In such cases, the school will assess the situation and respond in one of the following ways: switching classes to an online format for that session, delaying the start time, or canceling the session entirely. The decision is announced on Saturday or early hours of Sunday, via email, School’s Telegram channel, and Google Classrooms.

Decisions about unplanned closures or changes are made as early as possible, typically by Saturday evening or early Sunday morning. Families are notified via email, the School’s Telegram channel, and Google Classroom. Families are strongly encouraged to ensure they are subscribed to all notification channels so they do not miss time-sensitive announcements.
