Meeting our student needs
RAMADAN MUBARAK! Inshallah everyone is in the best of health. We pray for the safety and health of everyone in our school community and beyond.
Alhamdullah, our students have been doing a great job with E-learning. We appreciate everyone's efforts and support. It is important in this new method of learning, that we consistently hear from our students and evaluate their changing needs. Since the beginning of Ramadan, our students and families have expressed a desire for a later start time for E-learning.
Alhamdullah, in response to student requests and in order to allow for more time for night time ibada, we are starting e-learning one hour later. For elementary, all classes are meeting an hour later and for Junior High and High School classes will begin at 11am. Office Hours are now offered at the START of the Day for Junior High and High School students from 10:00-10:40 am. The Elementary and Junior High and High School Ramadan Revised schedules are attached.
We thank you all for your feedback and cooperation as we make this new normal work for our entire school community!
Junior High and High School Wednesday May 6th: Poetry Reading and Spirit Day
This Wednesday instead of meeting in Homerooms, we want all the classes to meet together in a Zoom for everyone to hear the finalists present their poems for this year's Aqsa Poetry Competition. If you aren't sure if you are poet finalist, please talk to your English teacher because she will be announcing this on Monday during your English class.
To encourage our poets and to give them a colorful sign of hope, we want everyone to come to this assembly wearing a different color of the rainbow:
Red -12th grade
Orange - 11th grade
Yellow - 10th
Green - 9th
Blue- 8th
Pink - 7th
Purple - 6th
All Rainbow colors - Staff
Wear face paint too if you've got it, and even change your virtual screen to the color of your class. This is the time to be as full of color as you can be! Show your school spirit! Videos on and BRIGHT!
The Aqsa Student Council is also preparing a special surprise to share at the end of the poetry assembly, so make sure that you stay in the Zoom till the end. Also, respond to your Student Council rep's request, so you will be included in the surprise that they are creating! :-)
