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 my child comes to school well rested and dressed in clean and modest clothing which is appropriate for salah. I will emphasize good personal hygiene at home.
—— 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.
—— I will make sure that my child is suitably dressed for the weather and understand that everyone goes outdoors for recess. We have indoor recess when the temperature falls below -23 degrees Celsius.
—— I understand that my child attends the modified Music class in Sakinah Circle.
—— I will strive to be actively involved in the Sakinah Circle community, attend Sakinah events and try to volunteer at least twice during the school year.
