Dhahran - School Report Question and Answers

How is the overall communication between teachers and parents, and the administration and parents? How is communication facilitated?

In our experience....awful communication. This is the root of the issues. As mentioned earlier, no one works during the summer. You don't know about uniforms, school supplies, or schedule until about one week prior to school starting. During the school year, there are several different websites that parents need to check and the reason for these websites isn't explained or intuitively obvious. As a bonus, the school assigns you another gmail address for all communications so make sure you check that! The excessive use of Google Classroom is interesting. We asked, repeatedly and in person, to be added to the Google Classroom to help track assignments. But...we were never added. - Oct 2023


Good. Google classroom and Skyward are used for communication. Some teachers use apps such as Seesaw or Class Dojo to communicate with parents and send pictures home. I have found that administration staff respond promptly to necessary emails and are eager to build a relationship with parents. - Dec 2019
