ICC Sunday School 2020 - 2021
                              Information Sheet
The ICC Sunday school is a program designed to help students grasp the essentials of
Islam in a fun and interactive way. Students will learn about the pillars of Islam and
Iman, daily du’as, Islamic morals and manners, special events, the seerah (life of
Prophet Muhammad), stories of other Prophets, and a basic understanding of the
Quran. Classes are divided according to the student’s age group and knowledge
level to make this a comfortable and educational setting.

  ICC Sunday School will begin September 13, 2020. Please register your
  child(ren) before September 1, 2020 for the reduced registration fees.

Timings, Salaah, and Dismissal
Students in grade 1 to 8 will have class every Sunday (except holidays, see schedule)
from 10:30 AM – 2:00 PM. Students in Grade 9 and 10 will begin at 11:00 AM.
Parents are required to drop off their children before the class begins and pick them
up from the school section immediately after Dhuhr prayer is completed. Do not
take your children from the masjid. No student from Grade 1 to 8 will be permitted
to leave without the presence of their parent.
Students in grade 9 and 10 will be permitted to leave the building upon dismissal.
They will be unable to take a sibling with them without written permission from
the parent.
Fee payments on Sundays will only be accepted 10 minutes before start and after
2:10 PM.
Only parents will be allowed to pick up their children after the school. If any other
relative or guardian is to pick up the children, please email
sundayschool@iccambridge.com to notify the staff prior to the pickup. Students will
remain inside the school until their parent enters the building.

If any child needs to leave from class early, please inform the teachers beforehand.
In the case of emergency, you may contact the teacher or email
sundayschool@iccambridge.com.
Lunch
Because Sunday classes are held in the afternoon, students will also be given a short
break to eat and play with each other. This gives them an opportunity to learn
Islamic eating and social etiquettes, while also having fun. Parents are encouraged
to provide their children with a healthy lunch.

Attire/Uniform
All students should be dressed in modest and masjid appropriate clothes. Girls
should wear hijab and boys should avoid shorts. Please see below for precautions

teacher to determine the knowledge level of a student. Accommodations can be
made at the request of parents.

Regarding COVID-19
