Unexcused Absences & Early Dismissal
Of late, there have been excessive unexcused absences. Please confirm any potential class changes with the office or your student’s teachers. Please note: students are required to attend ALL classes till June 4th. There are no plans for early dismissal for any reason. If your student has a legitimate reason for early dismissal, please email the principal and sign out with the security guard. 

The Prophet (SAW) said: “Do not treat people but in the way you would love to be treated by them.”

Source: Musnad Aḥmad 16220We are all responsible adults. Our children will copy our actions, not our words. Please be mindful of how you interact with our staff and security guard. These are volunteers who are taking time to support your students and are responsible for their safety. If you are asked to sign out your student for early release, please abide by the school’s protocol to do so. Any harsh treatment of the security guard or staff will not be tolerated. Please treat others how you wish to be treated.
