Principal's Newsletter 9/3/2026

September 3rd, 2026

From the desk of the Principal

Assalamualaikum Al-Falah Academy Families!!

We're excited to kick off the school year on September 12th at Fischer Middle School!

📍1305 Long Grove Dr, Aurora, IL 60504

If this is your first Principal's Newsletter, please read our newsletters from August 20th and August 27th. All previous newsletters will also be posted in our Parent Linktree.

As we prepare for an exciting start to the school year, here are a few important reminders to help ensure a smooth beginning:

Mentally Prepare Your Students: Help your children understand the purpose, procedures, and timings of the school day to ease any last-minute jitters. Let younger students know that you will be there to drop them off and pick them up at the end of the day. Review the proper behavior and expectations for the classroom, bathroom, hallways, and cell phone use (should be put away and not used during school hours).
Food and Snacks: Please refrain from sending any snacks or food with your child, as we are a nut-free zone. The school will provide egg and nut-free pizza every Saturday.
Gather the school supplies: A school supply list can be found on our website: http://icnschool.org/supply-list/.
Remind your child about prayer expectations:

The school day ends after students complete Dhuhr salah.
Students should arrive at school with wudu and wearing prayer-appropriate clothing.
If needed, students may make wudu before coming down for lunch. There will not be enough time to make wudu after lunch.
ALL students should sit on the prayer mats during the pre-Salah talk and maintain respect throughout salah.
Cell phone use is not permitted while in the gym from 1:00 to 1:25 PM.
Appropriate accommodations will be made on an individual basis when needed.
