Policies & Services
Food Services
North American International School has partnered with Healthya Catering company to provide hot nutritious food daily for your students in our Canteen. We also have several vending machines where students may purchase chilled water throughout the school day as they need to stay hydrated. There are also chilled water stations where they can refill a reusable water bottle for free that are located throughout the school campus.
Food service has been temporarily suspended for the 2020-2021 school year due to KHDA Covid-19 safety guidelines. Bottled water is still available for purchase through vending machines.
Medical Service
The health of students is a vital concern. NAIS employs a full-time nurse who is responsible for giving medical aid to students and staff. She is available from 8:00 am to 2:30 pm daily. The school doctor deals with medical emergencies, makes referrals to other professionals. As and when needed, and maintains students and employee health records. The school doctor is available from 1:30 – 2:30pm. In case a student’s falls ill during the school day, a pass should be obtained from the teacher before proceeding to the clinic. In case of a serious illness or injury, parents are notified and the student is taken to the local hospital. A student must not leave campus for health reasons unless the school doctor and/or Principal have granted permission.
Locker Service
Students from grades 6-12 are assigned lockers the first week of school. It is the responsibility of the student to keep their locker neat, and to keep all books and other materials inside the assigned locker. Book and other materials should NOT be left on top of lockers, near lockers, on tables in the common areas, or anywhere other than inside their locker. The school will not be held responsible for and loss or theft from lockers, or items left outside of lockers. It is the student’s responsibility to make sure they have locked their books and materials safely inside their locker. In the case of damage to the locker, or loss of a key, the student will be charged a fine to replace the locker or lock as needed.
Phone Calls
Usage of mobile phones during the school day is forbidden, unless supervised by school staff. Students should not be contacting parents or family members during the school day from their mobile phones. The main office phone is to be used by students to contact family in the case of emergency. Parents should not be contacting students during the school day on their mobile phones, as the expectation is that students are not using their mobile phones during school hours unless it is for a class related task. Students will be called from class only in case of emergency, and they will be escorted to the main office where they may be picked up by a designated family contact.
School Newspaper
The School Newspaper is published a minimum of three times per year. Students create and design the Newspaper during Journalism class and cover important events within the school and the greater community. Student Artwork, articles, and poems are also highlighted in the newspaper.
Uniform
All Students must conform to regulations regarding the school uniform. The complete school uniform MUST be worn during the school hours, for all exams, and when traveling to and from school. Cleanliness and neatness are basic requirements. Sets of readymade school uniforms in various sizes are available in the uniform store located on site within the school.
Text Books
Some textbooks are loaned to students from the school book store. The teacher/librarian notes the serial number and conditions of the book when it is loaned. Students must write their names in all books issued to them. It is essential the books be covered to save wear and tear. Each textbook must be returned to the teacher/librarian at the end of the course in good condition. Students are required to pay a fine to the accounts office covering damage to or loss of books. A replacement is issued only after the fine has been paid and a receipt obtained. Notebooks, workbooks and other textbooks can be bought from the bookstore.
