December 12, 2021We Wish All Our Stakeholders A Happy And Prosperous New Year!!!

Reopening
In line with the information given in our 9th December, 2021
Newsletter, School has reopened in earnest, with effect from Tuesday, 11th
January 2022.
Management welcomes all members of the ASSI family back to
school. It is profoundly gratifying to see our Angels and Teachers back in
their numbers, full of energy and enthusiasm. We wish to acknowledge all our
loyal parents for your continuous patronage. We, likewise, commend the diligent
efforts of all our hardworking administrative and ancillary staff.
Academic work, based on the Cambridge curriculum, continues
for the 2nd Trimester for related departments, from Preschool to G3 and Secondary.
Likewise, 1st Trimester academic work based on the GES
curriculum, has commenced for our GES stream, comprising G4B- G6B and JHS.
Theme for Trimester
The overarching theme for this Trimester is “Total
Educationâ€. In line with the theme, management, teachers, students and
parents will be engaged in school-wide discussions and share thoughts on what
Total Education should be about. Anyone could share by way of discussion, both virtually and
in-person. There will also be a conference featuring educational
experts, including parents, who will engage the entire Angels family on what
‘Total Education’ (holistic education) should be about. There will be subtopics
about the theme, audio-visual materials will also be shared with parents.
Overall, this should be intriguing and educative
Adherence to COVID-19 Prevention Measures
At ASSI, Management continues to prioritize the health and
safety of all our stakeholders, thus, all parents are strongly advised to
provide their wards with pocket-sized hand sanitizers and nose masks and
reinforce their essence in the fight against the pandemic. All hygiene and
sanitation logistics provided during school hours over the past year, will be
procured for use accordingly.
Books and Stationery
- Textbooks and Stationery for learners in G4B- G6B will be
available for sale, from Wednesday, 12th January, 2022. Please contact the
officer in charge for your ward’s supplies
- Unfortunately, approved textbooks for JHS based on the
GES Common Core Programme (CCP) are yet to be released by publishers. Parents
will be duly notified when the books become available. In the interim all
stationery for JHS learners are available at the bookshop for sale from 12th
January, 2022.
- Fresh stock of outstanding books for learners in the
Cambridge Stream (G1-G6) has been procured for sale at the Bookshop. Please
contact your wards’ class teachers for further details.
Homework Schedule
Parents will be duly notified by respective Academic HODs
about learners’ homework schedules in due course, for the necessary
collaboration especially, in the areas of monitoring and supervision.
Honour Roll
In accordance with the afore-mentioned theme, teacher
professionalism, learners’ academic performance and general conduct, and
performance of non-academic staff will be closely monitored for the purposes of
acknowledging and rewarding distinguished performance at the end of the
Trimester.
Key performance indicators (KPIs) for our respective
stakeholders will be announced in due course, not only to facilitate the
process but also to make the exercise objective and minimize subjectivity.
Revision of Academic Calendar
Management has, in consultation with relevant stakeholders,
found it expedient to merge the vacation dates (mid-trimester and
end-of-trimester) across all academic departments, to ease the stress
encountered last year when we had to combine the Semester System of the JHS
with the Trimester System for the rest of the School. This new arrangement
takes immediate effect and is reflected in the current Academic Calendar to be
released shortly Among the key activities to look out for are the following:
- ‘Inspire Angels’ (A parent-led motivational programme)
- Open House (A day set aside for parent-teacher interaction
to review learners’ performance)
- Mid-trimester Exams
- Mid-trimester break
- End of trimester Exams
- Vacation
HODs will update parents on department-specific activities
via their respective platforms, during the course of the trimester.
School Bus Service
In response to an increasing demand from parents, Management
is in the process of acquiring new buses to expand the scope of this service.
There will be a slight upward adjustment in fares not exceeding GhC30, to
accommodate rising operational costs. Details will be shared in due course.
Review of Canteen Fees
Feeding fees have been revised minimally per serving as
follows:
Department | Old Price | New Price |
Pre-School | GHC 7.00 | GHC 9.00 |
Primary | GHC 8.00 | GHC 10.00 |

Management will enforce the exclusion of learners for
non-payment of full fees (100%), in the case of a single ward or 75% in the
case of parents with two or more wards after the deadline of 24th January,
2022.
Only learners of parents with approved Payment Plans will be
