On The Horizon
A Message from the Principal of New Horizon School - Los Angeles
Assalamu-Alaikum!
Let me begin with a good news. We had our interim WASC visit in March 2010 and Alhamudillah we received accreditation for 3 yrs. till 2013. Thanks to everyone's hard work for this successful achievement.
Another school year is coming to a close with a few activities left. It is once again time for the tradition of caps and gowns, to say good-bye to our fifth graders who decided not to stay for 6th grade at the school and to welcome a new set of kindergartners upstairs to the elementary school.
Assalamu-Alaikum.
Stepping into Spring brings new beginnings…. A time to look ahead and plan not only for the rest of the year, but for the next year.
With this in mind the enrollment packets with tuition and financial aid information was sent out. Please read the contracts carefully and return them with the registration fee of $125. If you have not done yet. This will help us in planning for next year. After April 14th, the registration fee will be $150.00
Assalamu-Alaikum. It has certainly been a busy few months since the school year started, especially with the preparation of our 25th Anniversary Celebration.
Alhamdulillah we had a very successful 25th Anniversary celebration at Queen Mary in Long Beach honoring the Founders for their vision and contributions. Layla Shams, alumni from the first year of New Horizon and a current parent of New Horizon School-Los Angles was the MC and talked about our history of going from a dream to reality. We recognized 25 years of Board Chairs, Directors/Principals, PTO Presidents, Staff and our Alumni who have turned out to be successful and confident American Muslims doing well in their education and careers.
At this time, I would like to welcome all the new families to New Horizon School-Los Angeles, along with the returning ones. Alhamdullilah, we have 19 new students who joined us this year. I would like to welcome our dedicated and hardworking staff from last year, with a new member Tasneem Keval as the school secretary and social studies teacher, the board and the new PTO officers and room parents who have already started their new responsibilities.
Assalamu-Alaikum. Alhamdulillah, New Horizon School–LA is accomplishing its mission of providing quality academic education and raising God conscious children in an Islamic environment. As we are in the blessed month of Ramadan and during this month Allah (S.W.T) has asked us to pay Zakat, I request you brothers and sisters, to pay your Zakat to our school. Yes, Zakat can be paid to Islamic Schools. In this way our obligation is fulfilled and the school is also helped. Please pass on this request to other families and friends as well.
Assalamu-Alaikum! Another school year is coming to a close with a few activities left. It is once again time for the tradition of caps and gowns, to say good-bye to our loving and shy fifth graders, and to welcome a new set of kin- dergartners upstairs to the elemen- tary school. Alhumdulillah, this year was challenging, but has proven successful on so many fronts. Even though the enrollment has been low in upper grades we were able to accomplish a lot.
Dear Parents,
Assalamu-Alaikum. As we are coming to the close of the 2008-2009 school year, we would like to evaluate ourselves in the following areas - academic & religious education, programs, teachers & administration. We need your input from the parent’s point of view.
In order to do this, I am scheduling grade level parent meetings starting Monday, May 11th 2009 from 3:30 p.m to 4:00 p.m. Only Kdg. Parents will meet from 8:00 a.m to 8:30 a.m in the morning. Please make it convenient to attend and please BE ON TIME.
The first 10 minutes your child’s teachers will inform you of their progress. Then we will talk about the year end activities. This will be followed by a meeting with the principal, to give your input and fill out a parent survey.
Looking forward to seeing you all. Please mark your calendars for the dates.
