Welcome Back!
It is with pride and pleasure that I welcome back our returning students, as well as the newcomers. I would like to extend my gratitude to our heroes of last year; students, parents, teachers, staff, employees, and our NAC leadership team working under the worst of conditions, yet raising the bar for all schools in Egypt.
The new academic year is going to be another challenge to face and a very special one in the history of Narmer American College. With making sure to continue our mission and stick to our vision, yet putting the safety of all on campus first during this pandemic, NAC has been striving to ensure safety for all!
A lot of measures have been put in place to ensure safety of all; regular fumigation of campus, following a “less-touch” routine, forcing a “wear face-mask” policy, considering capacity of classes, sanitizing books, isolating suspicious cases, and regular check on body temp during the day.
NAC also promises to deliver the best education and all skills required for all grade levels. In doing so, blended/hybrid learning has been put in place. NAC doubled the internet speed to be able to live-broadcast all sessions for the whole school for those who opted to take extra measures and stay at home.
Please attend to the following:
– School gates open at 7:45 a.m. not before for students.
– Classes begin at 8:10 a.m. and end at 3:00 p.m. (each stage has a special arrangement for dismissal start time)
– Access to school for entrance and dismissal is through a designated gate (TBA)
– Changing from online to on-campus choices and vice versa should be done via emails to the office
– For online students only, you will receive a schedule to come pick up your books from school.
We totally understand your many concerns and are trying very hard to cater to our students’ needs, putting safety of your children and our faculty and staff first. We encourage parents of high-risk students to communicate with us to be able to come up with different plans.

I would initially like to extend my gratitude and express my pride to and at our NAC students, parents, employees, and the leadership team working under the most unusual of circumstances.
As we continue to educate our students and carry on with our usual mission and philosophy, I need to reassure everyone that NAC is taking all the necessary measures to guarantee that all people on campus remain safe and sound against the COVID-19 pandemic.
The measures taken include fumigating the premise regularly, isolating suspicious cases in designated quarantine areas, forcing a “wear face mask” policy and advising students and parents to keep their children or themselves at home in case any sign of illness is manifest.
Grades 9 and 10
Important notes:
Please follow up with your emails and the students’ system to know your son’s/daughter’s schedule.
Grades 11 and 12
Important notes:
Everyone must understand there is no way for us to please all as we make these decisions. Our priority is to keep everyone safe while not making life more difficult for our parents.
We completely understand your diverse concerns about health and safety, distance learning, the importance of face-to-face instruction, parents needing to work, the economy, and all of the other unexpected consequences of not being in school or being in school in a traditional method.
Rest assured our goal will always be to have students safely in our buildings as frequently as possible to ensure the health and well-being of all. In addition, always take note that we have medically compromised students. Parents of students with a higher risk of severe illness can contact the school administration, if needed, before the start of the year, so we can find together alternative plans.

I want to officially welcome all of you to the new academic year. We are looking forward to the new school year even though many aspects of the school will be different.
In the midst of this pandemic, we have been facing many challenges that we have never experienced before. Going back to school this year is certainly one of the toughest challenges we have to face as educators and parents. However, please rest assured that the NAC leadership team has developed a thorough and comprehensive plan that will guarantee the safety of our students and support all their educational needs. NAC teachers and staff members have been trained to follow specific guidelines to ensure the safety of our students and educate them about the health and safety measures that all students need to follow during the school day. We are counting on your cooperation to reinforce these measures at home. We expect all students to wear their masks on the buses, and while they are on the school campus. Students must observe social distancing and good hygiene measures. Please don’t send your child to school if he/she is exhibiting any flu-like symptoms.
• School gates open at 7:45 a.m. not before for students.
• Classes begin at 8:10 a.m. and end at 3:00 p.m. (each stage has a special arrangement for dismissal start time)
On arrival and departure students are required to use gate 3.
The Middle School team has been working diligently all summer and has put forth a plan that ensures that all curriculum goals and standards for each grade level will be covered and technology is integrated effectively in the teaching process. During the lockdown period, our students were exposed to a different learning process that relied solely on technology, which enhanced their learning skills. The Middle School plan was modified to fully utilize technology and various digital tools to continue enhancing the educational process. Accordingly, we require all students to bring their laptops or tablets to school. Students will not be allowed to use their cell phones as an alternative to the above-mentioned devices.

We look forward to seeing our students on the first day of school.

Our teachers are highly experienced and we expect our students to take classwork seriously and to be in attendance on regular basis. Teachers will administer three exams through the year, in addition to, ongoing assessment in the form of quizzes and tests. It is mandatory that students take all assessments assigned by their teachers. We are counting on your support in this respect and we encourage you to check your child’s gradebook on the school system and communicate regularly with his/her teachers. The school portal is an important tool for communication between you and the school. Messages containing important information and deadlines for payment will be sent to you and your child through the school portal.
We have worked hard to set a schedule that ensures that the curriculum goals and standards for each grade level will be covered.
