Note from the Director

It was a pleasure to see many of you at the Parent / Teacher Conference. As our Cycle 2 instruction has come to an end, please continue to reinforce studies at home during Cycle 2 exams. Respect is a very important value that we expect from all students, staff and parents of our DeBakey family. Please continue to help us in ensuring this quality is displayed at all times.

International Culture Appreciation

DeBakey is comprised of many beautiful cultures and backgrounds. We recently held our International Day celebration for students to celebrate each other. It is important that students understand the importance of respect and sincere appreciation for others. Attending our school in Doha provides students a global, first-hand interaction and opportunity to gain friendships with students of various cultures. Such an advantage will greatly benefit all students in their future endeavors.

We would like your support in efforts of continuing culture appreciation:

Encourage your child to build friendships at school
Remind your child to respect their classmates that may look or speak differently
Ask your child about their efforts to welcome others
