The school will resume on Monday April 5. -Ramadan Schedule: Insha Allah, the Ramadan schedule will start on Monday April 12, i.e. the school will start late at 9:30 am (Monday-Friday) for students; however, the dismissal time will stay the same, i.e. at 3:40 pm. -Mask/Water Bottle: This is a reminder to the parents to send a water bottle with your child since the school water fountains are closed down. Also, make sure to send a mask with your child that fits his/her face. Congratulations to Abdullah Alharbi for getting a full ride scholarship at University of Michigan-Flint. So far, three of our 12th grade students were granted a full ride scholarship at UofM-Flint. In addition, the rest of the 12th grade students were granted different scholarships, Masha Allah.

Congratulations to our 12th grade student, Abdullah Alharbi, for reaching the finalist level of the National Merit Scholarship Program (NMSP).
Every year, 1.6 million high school students apply to NMSP based on the PSAT/NMSQT test results. 50,000 students are selected based on the highest score. Those 50,000 students receive letters of commendation in recognition of their outstanding academic promise. Last year, one of our students reached that level, i.e. commended students, in addition to Abdullah for this year. 16,000 students of the 50,000 students are usually selected to the semifinalist. 15,000 students are usually selected for the finalists to compete on the National Merit Scholarship. Alhamdulillah and Masha Allah, Abdullah was selected for the finalist, i.e. top 1% of the students.
