In the event of an emergency, our attendance is the quickest way to account for students.
Parents are responsible for notifying administration if another authorized adult will be picking up their child(ren) from MAPS, late drop off, early pick up, absences via email.
You can email seattlesundayschool@mapsredmond.org.
Parents are responsible for delivering and picking up their child(ren) from Sunday School. As of now, there is no transportation provided from MAPS. If transportation is an obstacle in attending Sunday School, we also have an online Sunday School option.
Health Policy
For the safety and well-being of our students, educators, volunteers, administration, and community, please stay home if your child feels unwell.
Masks are optional. The flu shot vaccination are highly encouraged.
If you discover you or your child feel unwell, email us at sundayschool@mapsredmond.org.
Medication & Allergies
Please review this information carefully if your child has an allergy or other condition that may require medication to be administered while participating in the MAPS Sunday School Program.
MAPS Sunday School only has access to a first aid kit and does not have an on-site nurse.
Parents/guardians are responsible for delivering their child’s medication to the administration before the first day of the child’s attendance.
Medication includes all prescription and over-the-counter medication and must be in the original container and original prescription label. Medication cannot be expired.
Sunday School employees and PTA cannot administer any medication (over the counter or prescription).
Behavior Policy
To promote a safe, stimulating environment for all children and staff, each site will have guidelines that are consistent with local school district policies.
Should a child display behaviors which jeopardize the safety of themselves and others, the staff will contact the child’s parent or guardian and may request that the child be removed from the program for that day. An additional suspension may follow. Upon return, a family conference may take place to develop a plan for improving behavior. Repeated suspensions could result in termination of enrollment.
MAPS Sunday School program provides a quality experience for most children. However, it may not be the most appropriate experience for every child or for the same child at different stages of his/her development. When it is determined that a child’s needs cannot be met in MAPS Sunday School due to either undue burden or the student’s continued enrollment causing a fundamental alteration to the nature of MAPS Sunday School, including but not limited to a determination that a child poses a threat or danger to themselves, others, or property, enrollment will be terminated.
Special Education Program
The Special Education Program has been designed to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for children with special needs.
Vision: To build an inclusive, compassionate and tolerant community based on sound Islamic principles. Our goal is to break down barriers that prevent children with disabilities from being able to participate in the community of the Masjid.
In order for us to serve our community better, we invite families who have a child(ren) with special needs to kindly fill in the form below so that MAPS Sunday School can plan better for future programs.
What: Special Education Islamic Session.
This class will include creative and inclusive strategies to engage students who require additional support in a learning environment. Lessons will be based on the regular MAPS Sunday School curriculum and will be modified to suit each learner’s abilities, incorporating different learning styles such as: visual, auditory and/or tactile learning.
Program Mission & Goals:
- To provide a learning environment that is safe, caring and loving where children with special needs can learn about Islam and develop strong, positive Islamic identities.
- To nurture each child’s individual skills and abilities while learning the basic fundamental teachings of Islam in an appropriate way.
- To allow students to build friendships and gain a connection to our local masjid.
