Jafaria School Help Desk

In an effort to adjust to the "new normal" of conducting Jafaria School as an online school, we have revised the school year calendar for the remaining weeks of the school year.

Being that we are not bound by a physical building at this time, we are allowing for the last day of class to fall on different dates for each class, depending on the individual pace of each class and their progress with the curriculum.

Please read carefully for a summary of the revised schedule:

The last day of school for the following classes will be on Sunday April 19th, 2020:

• PreK Junior Tarbiya Class 
• PreK Tarbiya Class & PreK Quran Class

• ALL other Quran Classes not mentioned above
• All Tarbiya Classes grades 4th through 10th

Ramadan Schedule:

Previously, when classes were being held onsite, the decision had been to close the school for Ramadan Break and then reopen after Eid-ul-Fitr.

However, in light of our current circumstances, the decision has been made to continue operating the school through the first half of Ramadan, with the LAST DAY OF SCHOOL being Sunday May 10th, 2020.

Ramadan Timings:

For class sessions being held in Ramadan (Sunday April 26th, Sunday May 3rd, and Sunday May 10th), the timings will be adjusted as follows:

02:00pm to 03:10pm - Tarbiya Class
03:20pm to 04:00pm - Quran Class

The actual last day of each class will be announced by each individual teacher.

For example, your child's Tarbiya class may finish on one date, while their Quran class will finish on another date, and different siblings within the same house may have different last days of class.

After a two-week hiatus, Jafaria School is now "reopening" on Sunday March 22nd, 2020 as a remote learning / online learning school. We will continue to operate in this fashion until the end of the school year or until Masjid-e-Ali reopens to the public, whichever comes first.

Following the example of the public schools and colleges across the state of the New Jersey, Jafaria School will be resuming its curriculum in a remote learning / online learning  mode. Classes will continue where they left off, and resume the unit of study or lesson where they had left off after their last session.

What does this mean?

This means that students are expected to read their textbooks, storybooks, continue working on their class presentations and projects, study for and take their tests and quizzes, and attend online classes, and submit their homework on a weekly basis.

THE MASJID-E-ALI BUILDING REMAINS CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. CLASSES ARE BEING HELD ONLINE ONLY. DO NOT COME TO MASJID-E-ALI.

Google Hangouts Meet will be the video conferencing platform of choice for Jafaria School, as we embark on the launch of our Jafaria School Online Learning initiative.

Not all classes will be using holding live online interactive sessions from the getgo. (They will be conducting their classes through independent study.)

If your class will be holding live interactive classes on Sundays, you will receive a notification via email, along with the date, time, and instructions how connect to your online session.

(The date and times will align with what were the normal school hours on Sundays, between 10:30am and 1pm.)

All Jafaria School Parents are requested to complete this brief Remote / Online Learning Survey ASAP.

Your feedback is essential to help us plan in such a way so as to best cater to the needs of each class.

Please complete the survey within the next 48 hours upon receipt of this email.

UPDATE 3/15/2020: Masjid-e-Ali remains CLOSED until further notice. Jafaria School is currently in the planning phase for implementing a Remote Learning / Online Learning plan, akin to that which is being enacted by other school districts in the state of New Jersey, in light of the current Corona Virus (COVID 19) outbreak.  This will allow for continuity of your child's Islamic education.

School will "REOPEN" for remote / online learning on Sunday 3/22/2020.

Out of an abundance of caution, in order to preempt the impending Corona Virus (COVID 19) outbreak, the management of Masjid-e-Ali has decided to temporarily SUSPEND all programs and CLOSE the masjid for a period of TWO WEEKS.

Therefore, Jafaria School will be CLOSED for a period of TWO WEEKS.

Jafaria School will be CLOSED on:

- Sunday March 15th, 2020

A subsequent announcement will be made as to the reopening of the school thereafter.
