March 2024 District Update: https://www.smore.com/n/wpjsa-district-monthly-update?ref=email
Every year, many Muslims fast each day of Ramadan from dawn until dusk, for the duration of the month. This year, Ramadan begins in the evening of Sunday, March 10, 2024 and ends on Tuesday, April 9, 2024. The day after the end of Ramadan (Wednesday, April 10, 2024) is a religious holiday called Eid-al-Fitr. It is also customary for extra prayers or other practices throughout the day.
As we know some of our students will be fasting, our schools will be offering a food-free space during lunch.
Please contact your child's teacher, adjustment counselor or building administrator with any questions or an accommodation that may be needed in observance of Ramadan.
Ramadan Mubarak too all who celebrate!
