We Follow Rules
Islamic Classes Schedule & Tardiness
Students must arrive on time. Tardiness will be recorded and will result in a conference with the Islamic Classes directors. The Islamic Classes will follow the following schedule: 10am to 1pm.
Attendance
Regular attendance at Islamic Classes is very important. Please help your child to develop a commitment for regular Islamic Classes attendance and getting to Islamic Classes on time. Students who are absent will be expected to make up all missed work.
Dress Code
Good personal grooming habits are an essential part of Islam. Clothing should not be a distraction or point of competition. In order to further this goal, the Islamic Saturday Islamic Classes adopted a Islamic Classes uniform policy. Boys and girls must wear Islamically suitable clothing. Girls are required to wear hijab as part of the Islamic Classes uniform. Shorts are not allowed for all ages.
Behavior
The behavior of students in the Islamic Classes should conform to Islamic Standards. Students should promote a productive environment and show respect to all other members of the Islamic Classes including personnel, teachers, and other students. One of the major objectives of the Islamic Classes is to foster an environment of Islamic behavior and manners. In such an environment, behavior such as use of obscene, vulgar, abusive, inflammatory or disrespectful language and/or gestures is inappropriate, will not be tolerated and may result in expulsion from Islamic Classes.
General Expectations
