Dear Parents:

As-Salaamu Alaikum,

I had the pleasure of meeting some of our parents during Coffee with the Principal meeting and PTO Breakfast.  We had a very fruitful discussion session where many ideas and suggestions were presented to the school’s administration.  Main topics on the agenda as discussed:

· The inclusion of Islamic book titles in the Accelerated Reader Program.

· The acquisition of the Accelerated Math program-ALEKS.  Teachers are undergoing program training to prepare for the 2010-2011 school year.

· The continued collaboration with other Islamic schools throughout the country via the Annual ISNA Education Forum.

· The appointment of Br. Gyasi Mckinzie as Director of the Arabic and Islamic Studies department for 2010-2011 academic year.

The Student Mosaic Art Project coordinated by our Art Teacher, Ms. Gulcan Dimitras

Aside from the wonderful PTO breakfast which we all enjoyed, we also had a productive discussion session where many ideas and suggestions were presented for future considerations.  I thank all parents' participation and invite those who were unable to join us to read the full meeting minutes posted on the school’s website.

Warmest regards
