ISG Dammam Connects School Values With Everyday Actions

A positive school community grows through the everyday choices people make, the respect they show one another and the responsibility they share for creating a welcoming learning environment. This week, ISG Dammam brought students together through class meetings and assemblies centered on the school’s ROAR values: Respect, Offer Acceptance, Act with Integrity and Responsibility.

The meetings provided an opportunity for students to revisit what these values look like throughout the school day. Discussions covered attendance and punctuality, positive behavior, personal accountability and the importance of respecting shared spaces. Students also reviewed expectations surrounding lunch procedures, passes and supervision, helping everyone understand their role in maintaining a safe and organized campus.

As part of these conversations, the school also introduced upcoming changes designed to support a more consistent learning environment. Students will have designated lunch areas, including the gym, soccer pitch, outdoor breezeway seating, canteen and first-floor lunch area. These arrangements will help streamline supervision while allowing teachers more time for planning, collaboration and student support.

Another upcoming change will see student phones no longer permitted during the school day. This approach, which aligns with practices at other ISG schools, aims to reduce distractions and encourage students to engage more fully with their learning and the people around them. Further information about implementation will be shared with families and students.

Keeping a positive school environment requires a shared commitment from everyone. Through open communication with students and families, ISG Dammam continues to strengthen the understanding that respect, responsibility and consideration for others extend beyond the classroom and into every part of campus life.

As our Leopards continue to put ROAR into practice, the goal is to make these values a natural part of how we learn, interact and contribute to our school community each day.
