Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh,

Dear APA Parents,

In the Month of November and December we will focus on the character of caring. Research shows that when you reinforce learning at home, your child is more likely to succeed in school. But your child needs to learn more than how to read, write and solve math problems. Don’t forget to teach him/her to care for teachers, school staff, friends and school property.

• Talk positively about teachers and school staff. Expect the same from your child. If you or your child has a problem with someone at school, make an appointment to talk about it.

• Expect your child to follow school rules. Talk about school guidelines for appropriate behavior. Support the school if your child misbehaves. Emphasis on the importance of caring about school rules.

• Expect your child to show care for school property and the belongings of others. Talk to him/her about putting trash in containers, keeping restrooms tidy and other ways to maintain a clean and safe school environment. I would like to remind myself and all parents that : Abud-Darda (RAH) reported : The prophet ( SAS) said , “ nothing will be heavier on the Day of Resurrection in the scale of the believer than good manners. Allah hates ones who utters foul or coarse language.” [ At-Tirmidhi ]

Lets all work together hand in hand to achieve the goal of Caring, which is one of the characters of good manners.

Jazkum Allah Khayr,
