I would like to take a moment to welcome you all. I hope you all had a great summer and are ready to have an exciting year full of learning and fun; but first, I would like to introduce myself.
My name is Hajar Ibrahim, and I will be the homeroom teacher for KA. I worked in both preschool and elementary classrooms. I have a Multiple Subject Teaching Credential from San Jose State University. I love being a teacher, working with children, and seeing them grow.
I am excited to meet you all during our Meet and Greet on Thursday, August 7th, from 10:30-11:00 am on the Turf Area (beside the playground). Don't forget to bring your school supplies!
The first day of school is on Monday, August 11 insha'allah. Here are some notes:
Class begins promptly at 8:00 am. Please drop students at the KA classroom (room #21 A) starting at 7:45 am.
Pick-up:
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday is at 3:15pm.
Wednesday is at 2:00 pm.
Please remember the first two days of school, pick up will be at 12:30 pm.
All students should come to school dressed in the proper school uniform as stated in the GIS Parents-Students Handbook.
Students need to bring a labeled lunch box with both 2 snacks and one lunch. Please make sure that your child’s lunch is nutritious and healthy. The following items are not allowed: chips, cake, candies, chocolate, etc. Also, it is highly recommended that all juices should be 100% fruit. No fruit punches with (added sugar) will be allowed. We have two snack times and one lunch scheduled for the students.
Students need to bring a backpack to school everyday (big enough for the homework folder, lunchbox, and water bottle). No roller backpacks.
I pray we have a blessed and wonderful year.
Jazakallahu Khairan,
Ms. Hajar
