Salaam Parents and Students!
- I know that everyone was super-duper excited about report card! Will they went home today. Please check the report card, and sign the envelope and return by Monday!
- Mashallah, majority of the students did amazing this term!! Majority of the students improved in their own area, which is awesome!
- Reading Logs: Asma, Hedaya, Meryem, Fajr and Zayan I have included the reading logs for you guys, but return by Monday. Some students received only one book instead of two. I would like those children to concentrate on the "easy to read" book first before I assign challenging books. According to the reading assessment, if the child has not progressed in their level of reading then I keep assigning the 'easy to read' or 'tricky word' books only. Students whom have progressed in their level of reading I assign more challenging books or readers theater!
- HOMEWORK folders went home today- it is a word search, please complete the homework with your children, and if the child does not know the definition of the term, then explain to them the meaning!
- Milk forms due by March 20
- reminder that our Honesty Assembly is Tuesday March 20
- Hamza and Haris please practice the translation that I put in your agenda
- Nuha, Adeena, Hussein, and Jana please practice your honesty poem
- Haris -mom please check your e-mail for the script to practice with Haris
- Ayoub and Shaimaa keep practicing the verse from the Qu'ran
- Hussein practice the translation that I gave to you
- The assembly is in the morning at 10:30 am
- I have notice that students are bring lips gloss, head band, toys etc. into class and exchanging with other students- if your child is bring things from home please talk to them
- IMPORTANT: Parents: the administration have noticed that parents and students are wandering in the halls near the Kindergarten classes -without teachers present, and hanging their jacket and outer-wear. School rules dictate that no one should be in the hallways prior to class or be in the hallway during school hours without advising the front office. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!! This is hazardous and dangerous, it is against school policies!!!!!! If this continues then we must advise the administration! Thank you for understanding and respecting school polices. Our school hours are from 7:50 to 3:20- during these hours it is prohibited to be in the halls, if the office is advised then it would be okay! I hope that everyone understands that it is for the safety of our kids.
- please check the Arabic tap
- have a great weekend everyone!!
