Parent Responsibilities: Parents are strongly requested to participate in the weekly assembly (beginning 10:45 AM) as well as salaat. Parents are required to attend the first assembly of the school year where rules and regulations of the School will be explained. Other responsibilities:

• Ensure that your children bring their books, paper, pencils, and other required material to class.
• Punctuality and good attendance is required. Your children will only learn if you are serious about School and the first step to being serious is attending school on time. In the case of an unavoidable absence, contact your child’s teachers beforehand to obtain the necessary lessons and homework.
• Please pick up your children promptly at 1:30 pm. Volunteers are not responsible for your children after this time.
• Assist your students with their homework, exams, and other school activities. The primary responsibility for the Islamic education of children lies with the parents. SAB can only be effective if you actively participate in your child’s Islamic learning experience at home. Regularly check with your students to see what handouts and homework they were given and whether that homework has been completed.

Report cards are issued only at the end of the year. There are two tests to check student progress, a midterm and a final. Some teachers may give additional quizzes or tests. The teachers will inform students of upcoming tests. Parents should stay in regular contact with the teacher so that there are not any surprises at the end of the year.

Parent/Teacher Meetings

One meeting takes place after midterms. However, parent/teacher meetings can also be scheduled individually at the request of parent or teacher.

Please do not walk or look into your child's class after it is in session. And for the little ones, emphasize that they can not walk out of the class without teacher's permission. If you need to consult with the teacher, please schedule a meeting before or after school hours. If you need to consult with one of the administrators please use low voices. We strongly discourage any other conversations in the building during the session of the school. The parents talking added to the sound of teaching taking place becomes too noisy for a classroom atmosphere. We appreciate your cooperation in this matter.

Parental assistance is encourages in all areas of our school: monitoring the hallways, classroom substituting, field trips, fundraisers, picnic etc. Please contact Sr. Nuzhat Navvab or Sister Urooj Kazmi if you would like to volunteer.

Efforts are made to provide supervision on school grounds between 10:45 am to 1:30 pm. Beyond those hours there may be adults around, but will not be responsible for your child or provide supervision. Please be prompt in picking up your child and be considerate of the school volunteer's time. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. If there are any unforeseen circumstances, please notify one of the administrators at the school.

Please drive carefully and slowly as you come into the parking lot. There may be children playing in the lot before and after the school hours. Expect the unpredictability of children's movements. Ask your children to be alert to incoming cars.
For the children's safety, do not drop off students in the middle of the parking lot. Students are to be dropped off inside SABA. Parents are encouraged to attend assembly with their children.
Students waiting for parents need to do so inside the building; please do not ask your children to meet you outside. Advise your children to stay well within the SABA building boundaries. If your children are younger than 12 years old please attend salaat with them. Staff is not responsible for them at this time.

In case of discipline problems your child will be given a couple of warnings. If the problem continues s/he will be sent to the office. If it still continues you will be notified.

Illness- if a student becomes ill, the parents will be called to come and pick up the child.

Injury- if a student is injured at school, he/she should report it to one of the school staff. Parents will be contacted if more than basic first aid is required.

It is essential that emergency cards are complete, signed and up to date in the school records. Fill out your child's emergency card completely at the time of the registration and then call the school with any change, especially phone numbers.
