SOCIAL CONTRACT

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ (sallalahu alayhi wa salam) teaches us that, “The best of you are the best in character.” In partnership with our families, Northstar School holds high expectations for students to act with respect, courtesy, kindness, and consideration towards others in accordance with our Prophetic tradition. We are committed to providing a positive learning environment for all students. Because this is a shared partnership, we ask each family to support these efforts by committing to the Social Contract below.  

I understand the following expectations.

Northstar students are expected to:

• Demonstrate good character

• Show respect to schoolmates, teachers, and all adults at Northstar School

• Limit media exposure and screen time (internet, television, gaming, hand-held devices, social networking sites) at home

• Practice proper bathroom etiquette (istinja and washing of hands) 

• Follow the healthy eating habits outlined in the Parent/Student Handbook

• Come to school well groomed wearing the proper school uniform

• Complete daily classwork and homework assignments

Northstar parents are expected to:

• Match the home environment to the values taught at school

• Bring students to school on-time and pick students up on time

• Be attentive and open to communication regarding any disciplinary concerns involving your child.

• Attend the mandatory parent education sessions

• Fulfill the required number of volunteer service hours

• Abide by the school health and safety policies regarding your child’s well-being 

The following are not allowed on the Northstar campus:

• Inappropriate language

• Inappropriate behavior including bad manners, hitting, or intentionally hurting others

• Video games, toys, electronic devices, smart and cellular watches, and cell phones

• Media and gaming related items, including backpacks, shoes, binders, and school supplies

Northstar has the right to dismiss a family for violation of any of the above written rules during this time. I have read the above guidelines, have discussed the expectations with my child(ren), and we agree to follow the expectations.
