Dear Parents and Guardians,

AssalamoAlaikom,

Welcome back to Hamilton Downtown Islamic School! We hope you had a restful and enjoyable summer.

We would like to inform you that the school day will start at 8:50 AM, and dismissal will be at 3:15 PM for all students, JK through grade 8 this year.

Soon, you will receive an invitation to join Class Dojo, where we will post all future updates and important details.

Due to a delay with the seamstress, our new uniforms are not yet ready. In the meantime, please have your child wear their old uniforms  or they can wear either black or green colors (new students only) until the new ones are available .

We are excited for the new school year and look forward to a successful year ahead, InshaAllah.

Best regards,

AssalamoAlaikom HDIS Community,

We are thrilled to welcome both new and returning students for the upcoming academic year!

For students in grades 1 through 8, the first day of school will commence on September 3rd, 2024.

Kindergarten (both JK and SK) will have an orientation session on the same day, September 3rd, from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm. Parents are kindly requested to attend this orientation during the specified time. Please note that the first day of school for Kindergarten will be on September 4th, 2024.

In terms of supplies, students will receive workbooks, photocopy materials, and any online-purchased resources promptly after our book orders are fulfilled. Additionally, all students are required to bring their own stationery in a case and a duotang on the very first day of school.

Asslamo-Alaikom,

This is to remind HDIS Learning Community that Friday 29th of March is Good Friday and  Monday 1st of April is Easter Monday in Canada. Therefore there is no school on this Friday and Monday. HDIS Students will stay home and invest in Ibadah! We look forward to seeing all on Tuesday 2nd of April.

Asslamo-Alaikom HDIS Learning Community,

This is to announce that there is a change in the PA day marked in the HDIS calendar. PA Day, which was initially scheduled to be on March 1st, Friday, has been moved to Monday, April 8th, 2024. This is due to the total solar eclipse that will cross North America during school hours on Monday, April 8, 2024, and can cause potential damage to the eyes. Due to this reason, students will come to school on Friday, March 1st, and stay home on Monday, April 8th, which is one day before Eid holidays!

Regards

HDIS Management.

AssalamoAlaikom,

Asslamo-Alaikom,

This is to inform all HDIS families that Friday October 20th 2023 is a PA day. Hamilton Downtown Islamic School has arranged a meet and greet with staff for our learning community on that day.

Meet and greet will be from 10:30 am -12:30 pm, for grades 1-8th. Junior and Senior Kindergarten already had an orientation day in September. Parents or guardians will have the chance to visit their child’s classroom and ask general questions. Parents are requested to keep children and their young siblings with them at all times. Since there will be a flow of parents, no specific details will be provided about a child. That can be arranged by appointment later or after the first report card is sent home.

HDIS will be starting the Parent Council for the current year. Parents are requested to submit their names during their visit on Friday and contact information if interested in becoming a member. Details will be provided later with roles and responsibilities. Kindergarten parents can contact their child’s homeroom teacher to express interest in being part of the Parent Council.

We look forward to meeting our new and returning families.

Asslamo-Alaikom,
