General

Sunday School will be held for 4 months, until the end of May.

All students must be between the ages of 7 and 17.

Having prior knowledge of Arabic or the Qur’an is not a requirement for participation.


Place and Time

The Sunday School will start on Sunday, January 26th and continue every Sunday until the last class is held on Sunday, May 25th.

Every Sunday, class will be held between 9:30am and 12:15pm. During daylight saving time, class will be held between 10:30am and 1:15pm. We will remind you of this scheduling change.

Since the Dhuhr Prayer (Öglen Namaz) is prayed at 12:15pm (1:15pm during daylight saving time), students may be picked up either before or, preferably, after the prayer is completed. Parents are encouraged to join us for prayer.


Communication

The main mode of communication for school related things will be through WhatsApp.

Parents will be added to a WhatsApp group after registration.

If class is cancelled or delayed on any day, we will send you a notice in advance via WhatsApp. We encourage all parents to check the WhatsApp group for updates regularly and especially on Sunday mornings before dropping students off at the mosque.


Seating arrangements

Boys and girls have separate classrooms.

Due to limited seating and instructor count, we will be unable to accept additional student registrations when the classroom fills up.

If interested, please register soon!


Food — Snacks & Lunch

Students are encouraged to bring their own snacks or lunch.

Ulu Cami may occasionally provide snacks or lunch (e.g. pizza) to students.


Health/Medical Conditions and Food Allergies

Please let us know if your child has any health or medical conditions that we should be aware of, such as food allergies.

We will try to provide reasonable accommodation but it is the responsibility of each student to check ingredients and allergy warnings of any snacks or food.
