PARENT INVOLVEMENT ENRICHES US ALL!
Thank you to everyone who attended our 1st ever Aqsa School Advisory Committee (ASAC) meeting on 11/26. Your feedback is so valuable to the growth and success of our students and school.
One of the first initiatives the committee ha committed to, is to address the school lunch menu to better suit the interests of the student body and to place more healthy options on the menu. A SURVEY will be sent home for elementary students, please look out for it in your email. We also will give a survey to junior high and high school students so they can provide their feedback.
The next Advisory Meeting is DECEMBER 15th at 10 am to noon . PLEASE, PARENTS AND ALUMNI, make every effort to attend!
If you should have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me at any time at tismail@aqsa.edu.
Sincerely,
Ms. Tammie Ismail
Principal
