Dear parents,

Assalam Alaikum and good morning!

Today is an In-service day for teachers, and a minimum day for students (dismissal time is 12:00 noon). We do have an extended care service until 6pm ($7/hour).

The first progress report was sent home on Friday. Please make sure to review it with your child and check with his/her teachers if you have any questions. The first trimester ends on November 30th.

Today is the last day for udhiya/qurbani donations. We are very grateful of the generosity of GIS students and parents; we exceeded our goal of sending 40 udhiyas ($4200), and we raised more than $6K. May Allah reward you greatly!

The October newsletter was due to be mailed home last Thursday. However, it is delayed and, insha Allah, should be mailed today or tomorrow. We are understaffed in the office due to the absence of Office Specialist, Sr. Humera Haq, on medical leave.

Have a great day and keep dry in the rainy weather.

Sincerely,

Nihad Mourad

 Principal
