BHA Principal's Update
Assalamu Alaikum Dear BHA families,
Hope everyone is doing well and looking forward the spring break. Alhumdulillah after reviewing the Middle and High School survey results, consulting with the staff and taking into account the coming of Ramadan etc., a return date of May 17th for the middle and high school seems to be the best option. Therefore the middle and high school hybrid students will insha Allah, be returning to in person instruction starting the 17th of May. This is a another step towards the school returning to a normal fulltime schedule in the Fall of 2021. For Fall 2021, we are looking at a tentative school start date of August 30th. We will have all the dates and the calendar ready soon to share with you.
We are looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow in-person at our Allied Gardens campus or virtually at 4pm for our annual fundraiser.

Have a wonderful break and enjoy your time.

May Allah continue to put barakah in our school and keep all of you and your families safe and healthy.

Muhammad Aftab Diwan, MEd

A Note From The Teacher:

"This week's shout out goes to Mustafa Salem for his academic achievements on all subjects Masha'Allah. Mustafa's growth has been tremendous and wonderful to watch. Also, I would like to highlight Sara Malik and Maimanah Bahramzi for their greatest effort in reading high level books. You girls make me very proud, way to go! In addition, I want to share an extraordinary piece of writing from one of my first graders. Shumayl Alware puts significant amount of effort in his writing. He does a well job on his hand writing and writes in an expressive way. Great Job Shumayl!"

~ Ms. Asma

3rd Grade

"I wanted to highlight my virtual students: Abdullah, Abdullahi, Emma, Khalil, Maryan, Mohammed, Sahar, Sanaa, and Yusuf. They have been so amazing, Masha'Allah! Most of them are completing all their daily tasks by the time we have our Live sessions. I am so blown away by their independence and responsibilities. Way to go!

As for my Hybrid students, I wanted to focus on Yusra Salem. I am grateful that I get to learn more about her everyday. It is apparent she loves her classmates and learning. She is kind, understanding, and very respectful Masha'Allah! Her positivity and kind heart is contagious. Alhamdilliah, third grade has a shining student like Yusra Salem!"

After You Travel
"You may have been exposed to COVID-19 on your travels. You may feel well and not have any symptoms, but you can be contagious without symptoms and spread the virus to others. You and your travel companions (including children) pose a risk to your family, friends, and community for 14 days after you travel.
Get Tested and Stay Home After Travel
  • Get tested with a viral test 3-5 days after travel AND stay home and self-quarantine for a full 7 days after travel.
  • Even if you test negative, stay home and self-quarantine for the full 7 days.
  • If your test is positive, isolate yourself to protect others from getting infected.
  • If you don’t get tested, stay home and self-quarantine for 10 days after travel.
  • Avoid being around people who are at increased risk for severe illness for 14 days, whether you get tested or not.
Follow all state and local recommendations or requirements after travel.
Also, take these actions after you return from travel to protect others from getting COVID-19:
  • Avoid crowds and stay at least 6 feet/2 meters (about 2 arm lengths) from anyone who did not travel with you. It’s important to do this everywhere — both indoors and outdoors.
  • Wear a mask over your nose and mouth when in public settings. Masks are required on planes, buses, trains, and other forms of public transportation traveling into, within, or out of the United States and in U.S. transportation hubs such as airports and stations.
  • If there are people in the household who did not travel with you, wear a mask and ask everyone in the household to wear masks in shared spaces inside your home for 14 days after travel.
  • Wash your hands often or use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
  • Avoid being around people who are at increased risk for severe illness.
  • Watch your health: Look for symptoms of COVID-19.
Getting tested after travel is especially important if you did any of these activities that put you at higher risk for COVID-19:
  • Going to a large social gathering like a wedding, funeral, or party.
  • Attending a mass gathering like a sporting event, concert, or parade.
  • Being in crowds like in restaurants, bars, fitness centers, or movie theaters.
  • Taking public transportation like planes, trains or buses or being in transportation hubs like airports.
  • Traveling on a cruise ship or riverboat."
