Dear parents, Asalaam alaykum

As you know, face-to-face learning at the Sunday school has been cancelled because of COVID-19. We are striving to replace this with online learning, and would like to ask if you want to enrol your child for this new service (no additional fee is needed). Please read the attached letter.

If you would like to register your child, please complete the registration form through this link: https://forms.gle/vDq8rexjSao7Mj1ZA.

Teacher Dr. Issam Ghannam will be teaching Islam to students aged 12+ on Facebook live stream at 11am every Sunday . It will be directed to general public so students could follow without being a friend of siea.charity (ask to become a friend) but needs to have an account. (setup one today from www.facebook.com )

17/03/2020] From Youth Leader teacher Talha: YOUTH GROUP CANCELLED

After consultation, we have decided to cancel youth group until the foreseeable future.

Allah protect us
From teacher Talha: Insha’allah, I will run a live stream session online in place of the youth group. In times like these, we must turn back to Allah

16/3/2020 Salaam Parents
We’ve noted a significant drop in attendance this week and anticipate this trend is highly likely to continue due to the Coronavirus.
Our ability to effectively teach and complete the curriculum is being compromised.
We’ve therefore taken the decision to shut Sunday School for now and will let you know when the school re-opens.

We will however keep you informed about remote teaching zoom options via our website : siea.org.uk & solihullsundayschool.info

More information to follow. please visit this site

Kind regards
SIEA Board
