Hardcopy Book Requests
All our books are available in softcopy format via the Google Classrooms. We will, inshaAllah, have a 2nd Book Pickup & Drop-off Drive Thru on Saturday, Oct. 2nd, from 11:30 am – 1 pm at JCC (9000 Bathurst St.).
1. If you would like hardcopy books, please click here and submit this form latest by Sept 28th.
2. If you had previously requested books but could not pick them up at the 1st Drive Thru, please submit the form again.
3. Note that we will not be able to accommodate late requests and we expect parents to inform us prior to the book drive if their plans have changed and they can no longer pick up the books; this will avoid wastage of time, effort and cost.
4. If you have any loaned Tarbiyah Storybooks or Band C or Band D textbooks from 2019, please drop them off.

REMINDERS
Classroom invites & parent/student info changes
All students should have received invites to Google Classrooms (GC) which are being used for announcements, lesson material, and assessments. Invites have been sent to Student e-mail id if it was provided during registration; if not, invite was sent to parent’s email id. Please ensure you/your child accept the invite to obtain zoom link for the class. If an invite hasn’t been received, check in spam/junk folder and ensure notifications are turned on google account. If you still cannot find the invite, send an e-mail to admin@al-haadi.ca.
Now that student info has been loaded in Classrooms, if you need to change the e-mail id, phone #, or other parent/student info, please perform both of the following steps:
1. Send a request to the Teacher via class e-mail id, xyz@al-haadi.ca, where x= D for Dinyat or Q for Quran, y=grade, and z=A or B per registration confirmation e-mail. E.g. d3b@al-haadi.ca is for Dinyat Grade 3, class B, and q7a@al-haadi.ca is for Quran Grade 7, class A. CC: admin@al-haadi.ca.
2. Update parent/student record in parents portal (www.al-haadi.ca) by logging on using family id, and selecting Registration on left panel.
Student Programs – encourage child(ren) to get involved
As mentioned at the Sept. 10th Parents Info Session, we try to engage students via various Student Challenges. Parents are requested to encourage child(ren) to participate in the challenges.
