***********************************************************************************************
Tardiness
Parents must make every attempt to get students to school on time so we can make announcements about upcoming programs and expectations from our students and families. Students are expected to arrive at 10am in the gym. First-period classes start at 10:15am.
Sick Students
We have had several sick students come to school and have to be picked up after emergency incidents. If your student is experiencing any symptoms of a cold, flu, or any illness (nausea, fever, lethargy, aches and pains, etc.) keep them home. Contact their teachers for makeup work.
Shoes
We have had a number of accidents because students are coming to school wearing slippers or sandals. Students must wear closed-toed shoes to school for their own safety and others. Parents will be called if your student is not following the dress code.
Accessing Report Cards
To access your student’s report cards please follow these directions and see the attached instructions:
1. Login into portal with same email used when registered.
2. Click on “Students” tab on left menu column.
3. Click on “Report cards” for each respective class.
Please contact Br. Abubakr with any questions.
Registrar Hours
Br. Abubakr is available to help with any technical or registration queries. Please see attached flyer.
Student Attire
Parents, please note: we will call parents to pick up students or drop off proper attire if the students arrive in inappropriate clothing. We have had students show up in slippers and such. Please refer to the handbook for the policy on student attire.
We are in between seasons, so please make sure your students are dressed warm and wearing gym shoes and clean socks.
Absences
If your student will be absent, please contact their teachers to inform them and resolve any schoolwork issues. You should know your student’s Seerah, Theology, Tajweed, and Quran teachers and their contacts. If you are unsure, please contact Admin.
Snacks
Students are provided pizza for snacks. If your student requires additional snacks, please send nutritious options from home. Students are not allowed to share snacks due to food allergies in a portion of our student body. The vending machine is off-limits to students.
A number of students are eating pizza despite having food allergies. Parents, please be mindful of your student’s dietary needs. If they cannot eat pizza send a nutritious alternative from home.
Phone and Electronic Devices Reminder please do not bring electronic games or devices. They will be confiscated till the end of the day.
We have had a number of incidents where students have used phones during their school day. Phones are not allowed unless specially required for a class assignment or project. If a student is using their phone without permission, it will be confiscated for the duration of the school day, and they will need to retrieve it from the office. Repeated offenses will result in detention. We have also had students bringing in Switch devices and other electronics. These are not permitted during school hours. MEC Sunday School will not be liable for the loss or theft of any electronic device. Please have your students refrain from bringing in any such devices.
Reusable Water Bottles
We are slowly phasing out plastic water bottles and have limited quantities to encourage our students to use reusable water bottles. So please send a reusable water bottle with your, student.
Jazak Allah Khairan,
Principal, MEC Sunday School
