Assembly

School begins with an assembly that is an integral part of the school's schedule. It is a valuable tool for conveying information about the school, starting the day with a brief Islamic lesson, and putting the children in a spiritual, cheerful, and learning mindset.


Salaat
  • Salaat is a required part of the school schedule.
  • Parents who come early to pick up their children are strongly encouraged to participate in salaat and can only take home their children the prayer is over.
  • Students are not allowed to socialize or play between class and prayer and should instead get ready for salaat by finding a place on the prayer mat and waiting for the adhan to begin.
  • Talking and other disruptions during the prayer will be taken very seriously and dealt with immediately after the prayer.
  • Students are required to remain on their prayer mats until the final ziyarat is complete.
  • All female students who are unable to pray for a given Sunday are required to stay in the prayer area preferably doing du’a and tasbih, not talking or socializing. Talking disrupts the rest of the group that is praying.

Lunch

Lunch will be provided after salaat through parent cooperation. Each week two parents/families are required to sign up to bring lunch for the school. The parents responsible would set up, clean up, and bring the lunch and paper products for the day. Each family is required to do this only once a year. For more information contact our lunch coordinator Sr. Nuzhat Naqvi


Student Expectations
  • Line up patiently for lunch and wait for turn.
  • Sit down and eat in the dining area.
  • Throw own trash and pick up any lying around
  • Students are encouraged to use the restrooms during the non-class hours. During school times they will need a pass to use the restroom.

General Behavior at All Times

  • Sit in an orderly way.
  • Be on best behavior with staff and fellow students.
  • Refrain from yelling or running inside the school
  • Treat all property with utmost care. Please remember this is our center and we are responsible to take care of it.
  • Do not move any desks or chairs unless requested by teacher.
  • Do not bring toys, cards, magazines or games to school.
  • Keep your classroom clean.
  • Return items borrowed from the school office (pencils, staplers, scissors etc.)

Homework and Assignments

Homework is an integral part of the learning process. However, we understand that children get quite a bit of homework from regular school. Our policy is to not burden the children but to reinforce the class work. Teachers are therefore encouraged to assign minimum homework. Students are required to complete SAB homework, turn in assignments on time and come prepared to class with books and pencils/pens.
