Donuts with Dad
Join us for Donuts with Dad on April 2 from 8:00 AM to 8:45 AM in the DU Cafeteria. All dads are invited to spend time with their 1st-12th grade students while enjoying coffee and donuts. The PTO looks forward to thanking you for your support.
Preschool and Kindergarten will receive their boxes of donuts after the main event is concluded. Parents are not invited to the classroom for these younger grades.
Enrollment for 2026-27
Enrollment for the next school year will open for current students and their siblings on Friday, March 13. As in the previous school years, the enrollment process will be online via the Daarul Uloom website and will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis. Open enrollment will begin on April 3.
Written Homework
Students need to write the spelling words twice on a paper and write 3 sentences using 3 words from the spelling list on the website. Please be sure to write your name, use capitalization, and punctuation marks properly. It's due on Friday.
Green folder
Please ensure that the green folders are sent to school on Mondays and Fridays, containing completed homework assignments and the reading log. Incomplete or missing homework will negatively impact your child's academic performance.
IXL Leaderboard Recognition
Top performers on the IXL Leaderboard will be announced every Monday, based on their achievements from the whole week.
Show and Tell Update
We have a class of 22 students, and completing Show and Tell requires two class periods. For this reason, we have decided to alternate presentations by gender each week.
Monthly Reading Recognition:
Reading winners will be announced at the end of each month, based on the total number of hours logged. Recognition is awarded for overall reading time, regardless of the platform used—whether through traditional books or digital tools like Raz-Kids.
Reading Comprehension
Students will benefit from using Raz-Kids to strengthen their reading comprehension skills. I'm integrating storytelling into our classroom activities to strengthen students' comprehension skills. If you prefer your child to read physical books at home, I encourage you to support their comprehension by discussing key story elements. Consider asking questions such as: Who are the main characters? What is the setting? What problem do they face? How is it resolved? What is the conclusion? What lesson was learned?
Field Trip Protocol:
Chaperone Requirements: Parents wishing to volunteer as chaperones must submit a copy of their driver’s license and proof of valid insurance. Once received, we will seek consent from all parents to allow assigned chaperones to transport their children.
OR
Transportation Costs: Chartering a bus costs $89 per hour with a three-hour minimum, and the driver remains on-site. These fees will be split among the students attending, along with the cost of the excursion.
Morning work challenge:
The Morning Work Challenge is a monthly review packet designed to reinforce key skills through daily in-class practice. While the packet is not graded, students are encouraged to complete it thoughtfully and consistently. At the end of the month, outstanding work is recognized based on the quality of writing, tracing, drawing, and coloring. This initiative promotes engagement, creativity, and a strong work ethic.
