The Sakinah Circle application form includes the following commitments:
- I consider school attendance to be important and, except for illness or emergency, I will make sure my child is present in school. I recognize that if my child is not present by the last instructional day in September, he or she may lose their place in the program.
- I will ensure my child arrives for daily morning assembly promptly at 8:20 a.m.
- I will teach my child the etiquettes of wudu and salah at home in order to meaningfully participate in salah during school time.
- I will model and teach my child adab and good manners.
- I will send healthy and wholesome food for my child to school. I know that highly processed snacks and sugary drinks are strongly discouraged at Sakinah.

- I will ensure that, as a family, we play outside and explore nature to connect with Divine creation.
- I will monitor and limit my child’s screen time on devices at home and ensure that electronic devices are not taken to school.
