As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
Dear Parents,

As we begin a new academic year, I would like to extend a warm and heartfelt welcome to you and your children. This is a time of new beginnings, fresh opportunities, and a renewed commitment to growth in both knowledge and faith.

In Islam, the pursuit of knowledge holds a place of great importance. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “Seeking knowledge is an obligation upon every Muslim” [Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith 224].

We are excited to partner with you on this journey to ensure your children are equipped with the tools they need to succeed—both in this life and in the Hereafter. Together, we will work to foster an environment grounded in compassion, respect, and integrity.

It is with great joy and enthusiasm that I introduce myself as your child’s teacher for this academic year. My name is Eman Alazem, and I feel blessed to bring a unique blend of skills and experiences to our classroom. My goal is to provide a nurturing and enriching environment where your children can thrive.

In shaa Allah, under my guidance, your children will grow academically, spiritually, and morally. I look forward to a year filled with discovery, creativity, and faith-based learning.

May Allah (SWT) bless this school year with success, joy, and barakah for all of us.



If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me at eman@myois.org. I look forward to working together and welcoming your children into the classroom.


Warm regards,
Eman Alazem
