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 sundayschool@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 and COVID vaccination are highly encouraged.

We highly encourage students to receive COVID-19 vaccination and booster shots to prevent severe health implications if they or any family members were to contract COVID-19.

If you or your child test positive for COVID-19, are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms (fever, cough, shortness of breath, muscle ache, etc.), or were exposed to somebody positive for COVID-19, please stay home for a minimum of 7 days before returning to Sunday School.

If you discover you or your child are COVID-19 positive, email us at sundayschool@mapsredmond.org.

We will not share personal information but will alert families of possible exposure.

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.

The 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).

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.

When: Sundays, 10:30am – 1:30pm

Where: Muslim Association of Puget Sound

Who: Children ages 4 – 16 years who have an identified disability (such as a learning disability, autism, ADHD and/or have an Individual Education Plan (IEP) or a 504 plan.

About the Teacher: Nabeela Morrad

Nabeela Moorad graduated with a bachelor’s degree in special education and went on to pursue a master’s degree in inclusive and special education from the University of Edinburgh. She has been teaching students from diverse backgrounds for over five years and is passionate about supporting learners with disabilities including but not limited to autism, ADHD, cerebral palsy, learning disabilities and visual impairment. Nabeela has provided Sunday School with guidance on how to engage students with special needs and is excited to head this program.

Behaviour 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.
