Inshallah in next two weeks we are planning to move forward for joining the letters. Please help your kids for their upcoming assessments and improvements. All the kids are reminded to come on time as late comers will be required to wait outside till the end of class, this is just to bring the uniformity Inshallah. We have only 30 minutes of 45 once a week for teaching and constant interruption can be waste of time. Jazakallah khair for your understanding.
