Assalamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatu
  
Dear Parents:

Alhamdulillah September was a successful month and Insha'Allah we are looking forward to a successful October. Alhamdulillah we are very blessed to have such a wonderful group of parents and students who help make our school successful.  We thank you for your continued support. 

We have a fieldtrip planned for Thursday October 22, 2015 Insha'Allah.  The fieldtrip will be to U-Play which is an indoor playground.  We will send more information home with your child.  U-Play requires each parent to sign a waiver in order for their child to attend.  In order to save paper, we ask all parents to sign the online waiver as soon as possible.  The link to this waiver can be found on the U-Play website: http://www.u-play.ca/

We would like to remind parents to please use extra caution when using the parking lot.  There are many small children and we need to ensure the safety for all.  Please do not block the passage way for vehicles to go through.  We ask parents to please drive very slowly from the time you enter the Al-Rashid parking lot. Let's work together to keep our loved ones safe. 
  
If anyone would like to donate empty bottles and cans, we would love to have them.  The proceeds from the recycling will be used for year end activities for the students Insha' Allah.  Please inform someone from the Preschool staff if you have dropped off bottles outside the bins.
  
We have a calendar posted by the hallway door with important dates. Please feel free to come see us if you have any questions or concerns. 
 
Just a reminder to parents that there is a subsidy program available to parents who are qualified. The application is available online at: www.child.alberta.ca/home/1166.cfm  If you have any questions, please feel free to see Hala in the office.
 
Just a few reminders for parents:
 -Please do not send any nuts or nut products with your child for snack because we have children with SEVERE allergies
-Please make sure to place your child's outdoor shoes on the carpet and  the indoor shoes on the shelf.
-Please check the lost and found box for any lost items
-Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for the weather.
-Please make sure to keep your child home if they are not feeling well (they will recover much faster resting at home)
 
Jazakum Allahu Khairan

Our program is developed to enrich the lives of our children keeping in mind the child's interest.  The Emergent Curriculum gives the child the opportunity to learn and develop basic skills such as: language, intellectual, social, emotional, cognitive, physical, as well as creative while playing.  We will still be participating in field trips, which is also a wonderful experience for the children. With your support we hope to have a great year watching our children develop, learn and grow.
