A Welcoming Letter to the Parents

Dear Parents/guardian of the students, First, I would like to welcome you and congratulate you on making the right decision of enrolling you children at Al Noor Islamic Sunday School. It is very important that our children learn about Islam, and to be proud of their Islamic identity to grow up confident Muslims. Our mission here at Alnoor Sunday school is to be your partners, and work as a team to provide the children with the best Islamic education. My job here as a teacher is to give the student a fun and relaxing environments where they can come and have fun while learning new things and becoming more confident. EnshaAllah in this year, I will be teaching the students Arabic, Islamic studies and Quran. I will send the curriculum with the students once it is finalized so you can have an idea of what to expect. I will also be giving the children some outside material, like book, videos, papers to read and study from to help in understanding the material. The following points will summarize the main things I would like you to know: 1. Class will Start at 9:30 Sharp and ends at 1:30 Sharp with a 15 minutes lunch break 2. Material taught will be Arabic, Quran and Islamic studies 3. From 12:45 1:30, the students will be working on their homework. I will be there to assist them, but they are fully responsible for it and it will be graded 4. If they are not done with their homework during class, then they will have to work on it at home and submit it in the following class 5. After class, the students will be taken to the masjed, where they will perform salat al dhuhr, this the most important part of the day, and is considered part of the class, so plan on picking your kids AFTER the Salat 5. Exams will be given once every 8 weeks; I will be providing a study guide before each exam

6. This year, we will ONLY be giving the students awards after TWO exams, an average of their grades (Exam, homework, Manners) will be calculated, and awards will be given based on their 7. I encourage you to contact me if there is any question or concern. Best way to contact me is through email, and if you need to call, best time to call is between 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm due to my work and class schedule; I dont have a good text plan, so please no texts. Email: rishaq2@yahoo.com Cell phone: XXX-XXXX 8. During the year, I may ask you to come to class presenting or giving a talk, or just to help. I think it will give help to give you an idea of how the class is conducted, and it will make your child happy that you are also taking part in the class. Again, thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to a part of your childs life , and I hope that your children will enjoy my class, and they will learn a lot. Please, if you have time next Sunday, I will love for you to come to the class when you are dropping your children so I can introduce myself in person.

Thank you and Baraka Allhu feekum Ms. Randa
