The Prophet (pbuh) said, “when a man dies, all his deeds end except three: a continuing charity, beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for him.” - Muslim

From the desk of the Principal

 

We are truly grateful for the wonderful start we've had—and it wouldn’t have been possible without the continued support of our amazing parents. Thank you for preparing your children so well and for staying actively engaged at home!

To help keep the momentum going, we kindly ask that you continue to:
✅ Drop students off on time
✅ Check their folders daily for homework and notices
✅ Log into ALMA regularly for updates

 

A great way to better understand what your child is doing at AFA is simply by asking your child about their school day. Use the car ride home or your next shared meal as an opportunity to connect—ask them what they enjoyed, what they learned, and if there's anything they’d like to talk about. These small moments go a long way in supporting their learning journey!

 

So far, our students have been thriving! They’ve been exploring our exciting new subject Connections, settling beautifully into the routines of daily prayer, and enjoying lunchtime with friends. We've also had a special visit from our beloved mascot, Asad 🐾, and students have already started some fantastic projects in Qur’an, Islamic Studies, and Arabic!

 

Here’s to an amazing year ahead, InshaAllah!

 

🎟️ Student Incentive Program

As part of our Positive Behavior Reinforcement efforts, we’re excited to launch this year’s Student Incentive Program!

Students can now earn reward tickets in class for demonstrating outstanding behavior, kindness, and responsibility. These tickets are more than just recognition, they’re the key to our Quarterly Reward Shop, where students can redeem their tickets for fun goodies and treats during lunchtime!

 

To help us keep accurate records and ensure student safety, please complete the Student Absence or Early Dismissal Form for any day your child will be absent or needs early pickup. These forms are always available on our Parent LinkTree. Please note: There is no  early dismissal after 12:30 PM.

 

Alhamdulillah, our Adult Arabic class is back for its 3rd year! Parents of Al-Falah students are invited to join and learn basic Arabic and will have the opportunity to practice conversations with a native Arabic speaker. See the flyer below and register now. Spots are limited and registration will close once capacity is reached.
