This Week at DNA & Atlanta Science Academy
Qurbani Fundraising
The virtues of Qurbani are indeed tremendous. It is reported in a Hadith: Rasulullah (salallahu aleyhi wa salam) said that the first drop causes all sins to be forgiven and on the Day of Qiyama the animal will be placed on your scale increasing it 70 times more in good deeds.

MAP Testing Commencing
How to prepare: Get a good night's rest and arrive to school on time. Different grade levels are completing the testing during different class periods so make sure your student doesn't miss or come late to their testing !
When to expect results: MAP Test results are not available immediately. Once NWEA releases the results a statement will be released on the exact date we will be passing the scores out so look for that in future newsletters and emails.
Hurricane Irma
Atlanta is expecting high numbers of evacuees taking refuge in and around the city so plan to adjust the length of your routes accordingly. If there is any weather that would impact the regular school schedule next week it will be uploaded to the website over the weekend. Also, you can check the Fulton County official website for updates or statements.
Georgia insurance Commissioner Ralph Hudgens is urging Georgians to begin preparing now for the threat of severe weather from Hurricane Irma. Hudgens recommended property owners take additional steps to prepare for severe weather, such as making plans for pets, reviewing or seriously considering purchasing flood insurance policies, securing properties as best as possible, removing or securing valuables, and making early contact with claims representatives to establish lines of communication. While the hurricane category is expected to drop before it reaches the Georgia coast it is always best to have a plan in place in case of severe weather, flooding, or an emergency.
