Friday Dismissal Time

Asslamo-Alaikom HDIS Parents,

This is to inform all that we will continue to dismiss school earlier on Fridays. The dismissal time for every Friday will be 2:15 pm. This decision is based on  parent’s request, they can now pick up their children from school immediately after Jumma prayer.
A reminder that child/children have to be picked up within the time frame of 15 minutes before and after school to avoid the charges. Please arrange to pick up your child/children on 3:15-3:30 Monday to Thursday and from 2:15-2:30 pm on Fridays to avoid late fees.
