Assalamu alaykum, Dear Al-Hijra Families.

Please read all the contained information carefully.

  • We’re back to school Tuesday, September 6, 2022, 8:15 a.m.
  • Except for preschool (who will meet in the preschool classroom), we will all meet in the gym, and students will line up with their teachers who will be holding signs indicating their names, the grades they teach, and their class lists. At this point, the students will be welcomed. Parents are welcome to stay for this part before the students go to class. We ask that parents DO NOT follow the classes into the school and to depart as soon as the welcome has wrapped up.
  • All students have a 10-minute nutritional break from 10:19-10:29 every morning. Please provide a nutritious, healthy snack for your child to eat during this time. Lunch starts at 12:38 p.m.

Slowly drive your child/children to the side of the school building by the school’s gym entrance, wait for the students ahead of you to get to the safe zone, and proceed to drop off your child/children as traffic moves on.
  • The school provides all the textbooks as a loan to students for the school year. There is a one-time fee of $140 for all JK to Grade 8 students’ resources and supplies for the current school year. This fee includes the cost of workbooks, novels, supplies, and other instructional resources for specific grades. This fee can be paid at the office by cheque or debit by October 21. Please fill out the form HERE.
  • Class supplies lists are posted for each grade on the school web site at www.alhijraacademy.com.
  • Fridays are very special days for us as Muslims, and to further instill in our students the religious significance of this blessed day, we have early release on Fridays. Parents will pick up their children after Jumu’ah prayer after 2:00 p.m.
