Dear Parents,
Assalamalaikum wrwb,

              Today it was a PD day. The main objectives were:

   ➤To get to know teachers and staffs.
   ➤ Revival of virtues and importance of teaching Islamic               Education as part of Sadaqa Jariyah.
   ➤ Boosting Emaan.
   ➤ Appreciate teacher's efforts and time they put in weekly           for CKWIS.
   ➤ Encourage to share the achievements and progress teacher encounter weekly with             their students.
   ➤ Share techniques, tips and strategies which is working well for teachers in classroom.
   ➤Have understanding of the weekly challanges teachers face in the classrooms.
   ➤ Adopt workable strategies to over come these challanges
   ➤ Understand and Implement proper disciplinary actions for misbehaved conduct                  shown by students.

Main Highlights are:
             
                 A Close Table Discussion was facilitated chaired by the Principal. Vision and mission was reviewed. Discussions where made on challenges, progress and improvement factors . On the light of the discussion plans, strategies and new policies where made for implementation. Among them, the most important one was the Homework policy. It includes:

             ➽ From today until school closes, we need to focus on homework completion. No compromise on the homework policy. The first thing with the homework policy is revision of memorization and telawah of Quran and revision of Adiya learned in school. It is also very important for the students to understand WHY they need to recite the Adiya on specific occasion ( must be aware of virtues and significance). This is a constant duty of a teacher to remind them in class.

             ➽Everyone student has red agenda folders. 2 things should be mentioned in the Agenda from now: Recent lesson, and Review from past lessons. Don’t go over 3 revisions per day, and if they are very strong in their work then maybe just once a day. When they come back the following week, they should be assessed to see whether they did their review or not. If they did good.. write a “comments” so parents can see. If they didn’t do good, lesson is given again.

             ➽ What to do if child doesn’t bring the agenda or parents do not sign it? Listen to his lesson and still assess it and take another paper and write his same lesson and tell the student to stick it with his/her agenda.

             ➽ Ignore it the first time it happens, just remind them they need to bring it every Sunday.

             ➽The second time they forget you MUST go to Principal and make her aware of the situation so parents can be reached.

             ➽HW Template will me made and should be put in red Agenda

             ➽It s teacher’s responsibility to maintain and check on weekly basis.

             ➽ Follow up messages should be sent at Watsapp group to ensure that students are bringing it regularly.

             ➽ The Islamic Study Books will be sent home every week. Books that go home are:
              ⟹a. Level 4 and 5 : TME Book, Juzz 30, I.S. Book/folder, Salah Book, and Red                            Agenda.
              ⟹b. Level 1 and K : TME Book, I.S. Book/folder, Writing folder, and Red Agenda.
