The adults walking them home must be listed on their School Registration Form. Please consult the school calendar for the beginning of Ramadan schedule.

• Taybah Tahfeedh Academy does not provide bus service; therefore, we have heavy traffic flow during arrival and dismissal times. For the safety of all children, please allow yourself ample time for dropping off and picking up. Please be aware of students walking across the parking lot.

If a parent, other than the one(s) listed on the form, claims to have rights to the student, that person must present:

A note must be sent to the office if there is a change in the person allowed to pick up your child. This applies to students who are driven home and those who walk.

Students are not allowed to have any electronic device in school. Electronic devices include but are not limited to: cellular phones, PlayStations, video games, etc. If any electronic device is found on a student, it will be confiscated. The parents will be notified to come to school to pick it up. A second offense may result in the item being confiscated for a one-week period. A third offense may result in the item being confiscated for an indefinite period.

The following media outlets will be used to announce closings or delays:

Email: to be announced

Special Notes: sent home

Students shall be expected to maintain a neat, clean, and well-groomed appearance at school. Shirts must be tucked in. Undergarments must not be visible. No article of clothing shall be bizarre in style, unsuitable for school activities, or of a nature to call undue attention to the wearer.

Since school life prepares students to take their place in adult life, these primary requirements are expected for all students. The first responsibility for maintaining proper standards belongs to the students and parents or guardian. The school will deal with this responsibility when the students or parents fail to recognize its importance and neglect to abide by the rule.

Taybah Tahfeedh Academy offers full time Tahfeedh & homeschooling programs. Parents interested should consult the office for more details.

Our classes are grouped (age wise) according to mixed ability per level. Inside the classrooms, students are flexibly grouped so that needs of all students are met.

These kinds of practices consider students' varied learning styles. They employ the teachers to use multiple methods in teaching.

Pre-tests: These are teacher-designed tests given at the beginning of the year. These tests show the teacher what students already know.

Benchmarks: These are given periodically to assess which level objectives have been mastered by a student and a class.

Informal Reading Inventory: All Taybah Tahfeedh Academy students are assessed on all components of reading. This is done two or three times per year depending on the level.

Classroom tests: Taybah Tahfeedh Academy teachers assess students over topics and units throughout each nine weeks.

Observational assessments: These are useful to assess abilities and skills that the above methods could not.

Our homework policy is research based. Homework will be meaningful and will satisfy one of the following purposes:

• Practice of skills and processes to increase accuracy and fluency
• Preparation for new learning of information and ideas.

• Pencils and Pens: A good supply of pencils (for writing in books) and blue or black pens.
• Eraser: Large, high-quality erasers are a must.
• Pencil Sharpener: A personal sharpener with a receptacle for shavings.
• Loose-Leaf Paper: Wide-ruled or college-ruled, depending on the students' grade level.
• Notebooks: Several single-subject notebooks for different classes (e.g., one for Islamic Studies, one for Quran).
• Folders: Pocket folders to keep handouts and assignments organized.
• Highlighters: Different colors to mark key verses or important notes.

• Quran: A copy of the Quran. (Included in registration)
• Qaida Book: A copy of Taybah's chosen Qaida for learning Arabic with Tajweed. (Included in registration)
• Islamic Studies Textbooks: Textbooks chosen by Taybah for Islamic studies subjects like Fiqh, Seerah, or Hadith. (Included in registration)
• Tasbeeh Counter: A small, simple counter to keep track of repetitions during memorization or review.

• Backpack or Satchel: A sturdy bag to carry all books and supplies.
• Water Bottle: A reusable water bottle to stay hydrated throughout the day.
• Snack/Lunch Box: Airtight, for leftovers and snacks. The school will provide a fridge and a microwave.

Every student is expected to uphold the Honor Code — Positive, Prompt, Respectful, Responsible. Discipline is corrective, not punitive: the goal is to guide students back to good behavior while keeping the school safe and focused on learning.

Behavior that disrupts learning: talking out of turn, tardiness, not following classroom rules, minor verbal disruption, or littering. The teacher responds with a verbal warning, then parent notification, then lunch or after-school detention for repeated behavior.

Repeated Tier 1 behavior, dishonesty (cheating or lying), insubordination, inappropriate language, misuse of electronic devices, bullying, fighting, or minor property damage. Response: a written referral to the principal, a parent conference, and in-school suspension of 1–3 days. Parents are required to repair or pay for any damage caused.

Violence or assault, weapons, arson or fire hazards, threats or intimidation, vandalism, or illegal activity. Response: immediate suspension of up to 14 days and a recommendation for expulsion; the proper authorities are notified for any illegal act.

• Parents are notified at every step, and a conference is expected before any suspension.
• No student is disciplined without due process: they are told the concern and given a chance to respond.
• Repeated serious misconduct may lead to expulsion, decided by the principal with review.
• Students may make up missed work for excused disciplinary absences.
