Yearly Archives: 2015

Asslaaamu Alaikum

MKIS School of Islamic Studies is currently closed until Sunday 3rd January 2016 insha Allah where we will have normal classes and Parent Consultations for selected parents.  All students will receive their report card showing attendance, Term 1 exam results and any teacher comments.

If your child(ren) missed their tests at the end of last term, please ensure they are at school on 4th January to allow them to be taken then.

Dhuhr Prayer Time Change

Please note we will be holding our normal congregational Dhuhr prayer at midday for the next few months.  This means Arabic Studies will run through until 1:30 p.m.  Please come to school to collect your children at this time and no earlier.

Late Arrival to School

As announced during assembly last week, despite many warnings late attendance continues to be a problem.  As a result any students arriving late for the 3rd occasion since the start of Term 1 will be asked to return home.  Late attendance causes disruption to the morning assembly and first lesson so please help us by ensuring you bring your child(ren) to school by no later than 9:50 a.m.

School starts Sunday 13th September at Southwood School in Conniburrow insha Allah.

Just a reminder to existing families and to inform new families starting that assembly is held at 10.00 a.m. prompt. A late attendance register is taken for students arriving past this time as doors are closed just before assembly and repeat late arrivals will result in a discussion held with parents.

Information handbooks and school diaries will be issued during school this Sunday.  School bags will be distributed to new families over the next few days. New children aged 5 – 7 have been automatically assigned to classes as follows:

5 Years old go to Class 1

6 Years old go to Class 2

7 Years old go to Class 3.

All returning students are to line up as per their classes last year.  New students will be informed of their classes once returning students have left the hall in order to keep disruption to a minimum.

The reception desk will have details of which class your child is in if you are unsure.

Please ensure your child(ren) come to school with pens/pencils/exercise books and snacks/money for use in out tuck shop.

We would like to ask parents to please bear with us as the start of term is always a busy period.

SIS Enrolment Day will be held on Sunday 6th September at Southwood School in Conniburrow insha Allah.  As per our previous posts, places will now be offered on a first come first served basis so if you didn’t register online during August you must attend on 6th September to enrol.

New families with children aged 8+ will need to undergo some brief tests in order to determine which class they will be allocated so please bring them with you this Sunday.  Children aged 5 – 7 will be automatically assigned to a class (space permitting).

YOU DO NOT NEED TO ATTEND IF YOU HAVE ALREADY ENROLLED AND PAID ONLINE – Please come to school on Sunday 13th September for the start of Term 1 to learn which classes your children have been allocated.

SIS Online Re-Enrolment 2015-16

If you have not yet re-enrolled you will need to come to school on Sunday 6th September where any remaining places will be allocated where available. Please bring your Visa Debit/Maestro card to make payment.

UPDATE: ENROLMENT DEADLINE EXTENDED TO 23.08.15 – Parents who were registered with us last year are requested to re-enrol by clicking on the “Enrolments” option at the top of this page.  School places are offered to returning students first so please ensure you register urgently, else remaining places will be offered on a first come first served basis regardless of new or returning students.

Initial deposit or fees payment in full can now be made online.  Please ensure you pay at least the minimum deposit per child (£50) in order to secure your school places.  SPACES CANNOT BE RESERVED WITHOUT A DEPOSIT as this has resulted in us having to turn new applicants away only to find out later that the reserved places were no longer needed.

VOLUNTEERS: If you volunteered with us last year and are continuing this year, please DO NOT register through this form.  Please use the form in the Staff Area and check your email for login details.

Please contact us using the details on our Contact page if you have any questions/concerns.

On behalf of the SIS Management Team, we would look forward to welcoming you back to School in September insha Allah.

This event is for all students and parents and marks the end of our academic year.  Please join us in our end of year awards ceremony where certificates and awards will be presented to the top performing students of the year.  This year there will be a small gift for every student so make sure you join us!  (To help us set up, please ensure your children are in school by 11:00 a.m. so that they can be sat in the correct location before the ceremony starts).

Please note we will be closed on Sunday 15th February due to Southwood School carrying out building maintenance.

We will re-open on Sunday 22nd February insha Allah.

On Sunday 18th January we will be holding a Parents Consultation for Arabic Studies.  Appointments are by invitation only so if you haven’t received an email you do not need to attend.  If you still wish to see your child(ren)’s teacher please contact them directly to book an appointment.

MKIS School of Islamic Studies will be closed on Sunday 11th January due to a Volunteers Training Day.  We will re-open on Sunday 18th January Insha Allah.
