The school uniforms have been finalized! We anticipate the uniforms being available for purchase very soon. Stay tuned!

A subsequent announcement will be made once the uniforms are ready to be ordered.

Students are NOT expected to wear uniforms until a subsequent announcement is made.

Jafaria School has partnered up with Lands End for the production and delivery of our school uniforms.

And the date that uniforms become required will be announced at that time.

Parents should not purchase uniforms at the present time.

This announcement supersedes the previous announcement of Sunday October 15th as being the first day that all students would be required to wear school uniforms.

The uniforms will have the official school logo embroidered on them.

Jafaria School has partnered with LandsEnd.com, a Sears brand-name, to furnish our uniforms.

The components of the uniforms that bear the logo must be purchased online from LandsEnd.com.

Other components of the uniform may be purchased in person from the Lands End section of your local Sears retail store.

Per our partnership with LandsEnd.com, they will donate a percentage of the proceeds of each uniform sale, to Jafaria School.

Complete details will be published soon, giving parents ample time to purchase their uniforms.

Once the uniform requirement goes into effect, students will not be admitted to class unless they are wearing the uniform.

After a three-week hiatus for Muharram break and Teachers Training, Jafaria School finally reopens this upcoming Sunday October 15th.

The administration team and the teaching staff have been busy preparing for school to reopen, during the break.

With school reopening this Sunday, we will be able to pick up momentum and proceed with the school year's planned activities, full steam ahead!

While school was closed last weekend, our teaching staff was hard at work, attending a 2-day Teacher Training workshop.

A team of professional coaches flew in from Vancouver, on behalf of NASIMCO's Center of Islamic Learning (CIL-NASIMCO) to facilitate the workshop.

Topics covered during the interactive workshop were modules included the following topics:

• active listening
• multiple intelligences
• being a model teacher
• teacher centered vs student centered learning
• behavior management
• teacher growth planning
• emotional intelligence
• effective lesson planning
• presence in the classroom

Our goal with this exercise was is to improve the quality of our education, the caliber of our teaching staff.

Salam. NASIMCO workshop was extremely engaging! Whether you are a seasoned professor, an experienced scholar or new to teaching, this 2 day seminar had something for everyone! It was an excellent opportunity to team build and learn about the other Madressa teachers. This is a "must course" for every individual teaching at a Madressa! If you missed it, speak to one of the teachers/administrators that attended.

Thank you Jafaria a School for hosting the event.
was-Salam.

Pony rides, balloons, a bouncy castle, a petting zoo, a video game truck, mehndi, food and pastries, were just a few of the adornments of the afternoon, that provided delightful entertainment for Jafaria School families.
