INTRODUCTION
To the
parents,
As-Salaamu
Alaikum wa Rahmatu-Allahi wa Barakatu!
All
Praise and Thanks belongs to Allah, The High Exalted, the
Beneficent, and the Merciful. May the Peace and Blessing of
Allah be upon His Messenger and Servant, Muhammad (saw).
Welcome
to SALAM Elementary School! It is our hope that your child
will find a satisfying and rewarding experience in the
Islamic atmosphere of our school, Insha’Allah. We encourage
you as parents to work closely with our school and become
acquainted with your child’s teachers. Cooperation between
the home and school is essential for your child’s success.
An Islamic educational program can only be effective when it
is reinforced in other areas of the child’s life. Parents
must remember that learning does not end at school, but
continues and requires reinforcement at home, insha’Allah.
Mission
Statement
SALAM Elementary School will be
recognized in Sacramento as a leading Muslim institution of
education. We will set the best example and standards for
how to successfully integrate academic and religious
curricula. Our Arabic and Islamic studies curriculum will
enhance the quality of general education our students
receive.
Each
student will feel that he/she is our most valued and
appreciated student. In addition, our students will enjoy
the beauty of our facility and will take pride in helping to
maintain it.
Our
teaching facility and administrative staff will be proud of
their association with SALAM Elementary School, and they
will be an integral part of our success. They will see SALAM
Elementary as the best school at which to work, where they
can grow Islamically, professionally and personally. Our
staff will commit themselves to continuously improve and
refine the quality of education we offer, to enhance the
beauty and cleanliness of our facility, and to nurture the
God-given talent of each student.
Our
objective is to provide a safe and supportive environment
where all children can learn and grow with Muslim values. We
pray sincerely that Allah (SWT) will reward our efforts and
our intentions.
Philosophy of Islamic Education
The main
goals of SALAM Elementary School are to provide quality
education, to instill a love of learning in the students,
and to graduate students who will practice Islam as a
complete way of life. The entire curriculum is presented to
the student through an Islamic perspective in each
discipline, providing excellent academic preparation for
higher education. The most distinguishing characteristic of
SALAM Elementary School is that it provides an environment
that encourages the development and flourishing of an
Islamic identity. Furthermore, the school is the foundation
upon which we hope to build a living Islamic community that
adheres to the Qur’an and Sunnah.
Parents’
Role in Education
Parents
are encouraged to involve themselves in the educational
process of their children. SALAM Elementary School intends
to hold frequent parent-teacher conferences to exchange
information and to work towards optimizing your child’s
development. Parents are highly encouraged to join and
actively participate in the different school activities that
are available. It is important for the school and home to
work cooperatively in order to insure the best education
possible for our children.
