For a limited time only, Jafaria School is selling exclusive Al-Ghadeer Azan Alarm Clocks.

These exclusive items are a must-have for every Muslim family, and would make a perfect addition to every Muslim household.

Aesthetically appealing, this would be an ideal accessory in the common areas of the house:

• On top of the fire place?
• On the kitchen counter?
• In the living room?
• In the hallway?

It serves a purpose as a decorative piece as well as a central place to announce the five daily prayer times where the whole family can hear and can come and see it.

Teach your children about the importance of praying on time, with this Azan Alarm clock.

But what about the Azan app that I already have on my phone?

Having an Azan app on your phone makes sense when you are on the go and you need to keep up with your prayer timings.

But when you are at home, and the phones are put away, and you are spending time with your family, you want your children to be able to develop a keen sense of awareness about the importance of azan and prayer times, without having to rely on your phone!

Families That Pray Together, Stay Together

Having this azan alarm app in your household can encourage families to pray together on time. When your kids hear the alarm, there's no excuse not to get ready for prayer!

Selling for $25 each. 100% of the proceeds from the sale of these alarm clocks will be donated to Masjid-e-Ali.

Memorization of various surahs of the Holy Quran is one of the learning objectives for each student at Jafaria School .

Each grade level is assigned a number of surahs to memorize in Arabic, to memorize in English, and to learn to be able to recite with proper pronunciation in Arabic.

As students progress through each grade level, the number of surahs they must memorize increases.

Quran Teachers will be incorporating the memorization of these surahs into this year's lesson plans.

The list of surahs for each grade can be found here:

Format of the Conferences

Scheduling

In previous years, conferences were scheduled on a walk-in, first-come-first-serve basis.

However, that will not be the case starting from year.

In an effort to streamline the parent teacher conferences scheduling process, the school administration is mandating that all conferences be booked online ahead of time.

This year, we will be scheduling conferences ONLINE by APPOINTMENT ONLY. No walk-in appointments this year.

Governor Phil Murphy has issued a state of emergency for the entire state of New Jersey from noon on Saturday January 19th through Sunday January 20th.

The schedule for the school day has been revised, and is as follows:

Effective Sunday November 11th, students who arrive after 10:30am will be marked as tardy / late:

Students will not be allowed in class until:

• The parent signs the student in at the front desk.
• Students will be issued a tardy slip.
• Students must present the tardy slip to the teachers immediately upon entering the classroom after 10:30am.
• Students who fail to present a tardy slip must return back to the front desk to obtain one.

What Time Should I Drop Off My Child?

The optimal time to drop off your children is between 10:20am and 10:25am. There are numerous benefits to doing so:

• Students will have an opportunity to get settled in.
• Students will be present at the beginning of the class, so as not to miss any important classroom learning activities.
• Students will avoid disrupting the class if they can arrive early, and not late.

 

 

Parents should expect to drop off their children at Jafaria School at 10:20AM.

This will give students ample time to get settled in and get into the learning mindset for the school day.

Class will be able to start on time.

Students will not miss out on any important classroom activities.

Order your customized keychains, cake toppers, 3-D name plates, and more.... 2 Brothers Enterprises is hosting a fundraiser during school hours on Sunday November 11th, from 10AM to 10:30AM and 1:30PM to 2:15PM.

50% of proceeds will be donated to Jafaria School.
