Due to the uncertainty of the situation and for the safety of all students, parents, teachers and staff, we will go back to videos for tomorrow, Friday 13MAR2026.

These will be according to the Online_003 timetable displayed here.

I hope that Hybrid school will start on Monday. Pray with me that we will see a resolution to this terrible situation soon.

Dear Friends

This is a message for students in the Junior and Senior Departments

Yesterday evening, very late, I posted this to parents and students : 
“As you can imagine, this causes problems as all teachers have prepared for the switch from videos to hybrid and are not ready for videos tomorrow. Therefore, regretfully, tomorrow there will be neither videos nor hybrid school. 
This will give time for students to try and catch up on assignments that they have not so far been able to do and upload them for full credit. Tomorrow before 10:00 am I will post how they will be able to do this.”

By 10:00 am today, all teachers of all three assignments that were posted on Monday, Tuesday and yesterday will have changed the Submission Deadlines to 23:59 today, Thursday 12MAR2026.

This video explains how you can do this (although you probably don’t need a video!).

This is your chance to submit everything that you were late in submitting or did not have time to complete due to the pressure of the last three days.

This is also a chance for you to RENAME any files that were not named correctly. Please note that any files not named correctly (Subject_DateInStandardForm_Username_Number.pdf) will NOT be marked whenever they are submitted.

Due to the huge destruction within the last hour and the huge threats that have been broadcast, for the safety of students, teachers and staff, there will be no physical attendance at school tomorrow, Thursday 12MAR2026, by anyone.

As you can imagine, this causes problems as all teachers have prepared for the switch from videos to hybrid and are not ready for videos tomorrow. Therefore, regretfully, tomorrow there will be neither videos nor hybrid school. 

This will give time for students to try and catch up on assignments that they have not so far been able to do and upload them for full credit. Tomorrow before 10:00 am I will post how they will be able to do this.

We will wait to see what will happen regarding Friday 12MAR2026. I will post again tomorrow when things are clearer.

A few details about tomorrow :

1 : Buses will run tomorrow morning and afternoon, apart from the following lines : Bus 35: Dahye / Bus 6: Hay El American / Bus 12: Chiyah / Bus 19: Dahye / Van 7: Hay El Selloum / Van 10: Dahye / Van 1: Tarik El Matar / Van 25: Hay El Selloum / Van 9: Ramliy El Bayda / Van 13: Chiyah / Van 18: American University / Van 28: Basta / Van 22: Raoucheh

IF your child does not normally use the bus BUT you would like to use the bus during this crisis time, bring your child to school tomorrow morning and talk to the Bus Co-ordinator, we will take them home.

Once we start, we will then add or remove bus lines as the situation dictates.

2 : Lesson timings for Thursday and Friday

NOTE : No chapel on Thursday and Friday. Starts on Monday.
Lesson 1 : 08:00 – 08:50
Lesson 2 : 08:50 – 09:40
Break 1 : 09:40 : 10:10
Lesson 3 : 10:10 – 11:00
Lesson 4 : 11:00 – 11:50
Break 2 : 1 1:50 – 12:20
Lesson 5 : 12:20 – 13:10
Lesson 6 : 13:10 – 14:00

We will welcome students as before at 7:00 am but we will not allow any students to stay in school after 2:10 pm.

3 : Uniform
Tomorrow is uniform. If you have a uniform, wear it. Anyone that does not have a uniform and would like to have a second-hand uniform will be provided with it over the next two days.

4 : For the time being, there will be no after-school activities.

5 : Please understand that you are sending your child/ren to school under your own responsibility. You can keep them at home and they follow the videos online. We all know that online is never the ideal solution. Nothing we do will be the ideal solution, and there will be many who complain, but we are trying hard to keep up with a steady pace of teaching.

6 : The above also goes for whether you send your child/ren on the buses. This will be the hardest decision you make in the next 24 hours!

7 : Be patient with all people tomorrow. My long experience at this says that nothing will work tomorrow! We have spent five 20-hour days getting ready, but nothing will ever get your ready for 90 classrooms trying to record at the same time.

8 : Please note that this is NOT live. Hybrid is when some students come to school and others stay at home. The ones that stay at home watch the video recordings of what was happening in class during the afternoon. They then do the homework the next morning and submit it.

9 : The timetable that we will use for tomorrow and Friday is here : https://lesloueizeh.edupage.org/timetable Choose THIS timetable from the drop-down box on the upper right : TimeTable_20252026_Hybrid_005. I expect this timetable to be used, but someone might spot a disaster in the next 10 minutes and it will change. Just look at the latest version.

Here is a video talking about two important points :

1 : Talking about the video system we have used for the last two days
2 : Hybrid school starting tomorrow : Thursday 12MAR2026 [timetable / buses / details]
