From the desk of the Principal

 

Alhamdulillah, there is a lot happening at Al-Falah! From opportunities to connect with our teachers to ways our students can serve the community, we have several important updates to share this week.
 

We're excited to invite you to our Curriculum Day Open House this Saturday, October 17th!

As a reminder, details for most classes, including teacher names, lesson plans, standards, homework, and assessments, can be accessed through Alma. Instructions on how to view these are in the following section, below. If you have further questions about your child's curriculum, this event is a great opportunity to connect with our educational team.

Our Team Leads and/or teachers from the following departments will be available to answer general curriculum-related questions:

🕙 Time: Saturday, Oct. 17th | 10:20–11:20 AM
📍 Location:

Please enter through Door 1 (main entrance), where you'll sign in and receive a guest badge.

 

💻 Need Help with Alma?
Our staff will also be available during this time to assist with any Alma-related questions or technical support.

 

🔔 Kindly Note:
While Curriculum Day is a wonderful chance to explore class content and expectations, individual student progress will not be discussed during this event. We look forward to deeper conversations during Parent-Teacher Conferences on December 5th. Additional details will be shared in November.

 

Announcements include classroom updates sent by teachers, as well as other important information shared through the Principal's Newsletter (Quranic Gems, Parent-Teacher Conferences, Quiz Bowl, etc).

Your child will be participating in an upcoming meaningful learning opportunity to serve our community! This hands-on experience will teach every student the value of giving back and helping those in need. Please complete this FORM as it will be closing on 10/19.  We need your support in packing the thousands of meals that others are depending on!

Planning is underway for one of Al-Falah's most popular events of the year. Muslims Around the World (MATW) is a unique opportunity for our students and families to explore the beautiful diversity within the global Muslim ummah. Families host interactive tables representing different countries, complete with creative cultural displays.

Held during a time of year when we may feel isolated or underrepresented in Western society, MATW is our way of celebrating our identity, building pride, and showcasing the richness of our cultures…all while making everyone feel welcome and included.

 

🛠️ Setup Day: Friday, December 11th

📅 Event Date: Saturday, December 12th

📍 Location: ICN Ogden Masjid
 

A sign-up form will be sent to all parents soon. If you're interested in participating, please reserve both dates on your calendar. 

 

We look forward to another amazing MATW celebration, inshaAllah!
