Community support and excitement for the IB Diploma Programme has been outstanding. Currently we have 28 students of the first cohort and a wide range of courses available to allow for a balanced programme that will prepare students for a wide-range of post-secondary university and career options.

NOTICES
ARRIVAL TO SCHOOL
As you are aware, DHS's student body continues to grow at steady pace. In order to maintain our high academic standards and commitment to well-rounded graduates, we have made some structural changes to the school day and tried to more clearly define our standard procedures. These changes are intended to better meet the ever-changing needs of our expanding student body. As in the past, the DHS school day runs from 7:50 am to 2:30 pm.
This week, some students have been impacted by changing traffic patterns now that Ramadan is over. We anticipate that next week traffic will worsen as local schools, including our neighbour KFUPM, resume. We ask that families adjust their departure times to account for these factors, especially those relying on compound buses to bring students to school. It may be necessary for those buses to leave earlier than in previous weeks.
As the DHS Code of Conduct states, "students arriving to school after 7:50 am without a valid excuse will receive an afterschool detention." Please note that neither delayed departures nor heavy traffic will be excused. Pre-arranged appointments supported by documentation are valid, as are random conditions such as traffic accidents, mechanical breakdowns, or dangerous weather. This policy is meant to set students up for success by ensuring that they can be present for one-on-one meetings with teachers, participate in clubs and activities, or take care of their personal needs before classes begin.
We appreciate any help and support that families can provide in getting students to school on time.
