In case some students forget theirs, the school may occasionally provide snacks for them when available.\n\nThe ISGL lower-level space is entirely reserved for school operations on Sundays between 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM. <strong><u>For safety and logistical reasons, no one is allowed to be in school premises between 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM except for students and staff<\/u><\/strong>. Parents are allowed to come in to drop off their kids and leave right after. Parents who wish to speak with a school admin or teacher can do so before school starts (before 10:00 AM) or after school is finished (after 1:00 PM).\n\nIn Ramadan, Al Rahma School starts at 11:00 AM and finishes at 1:00 PM. First session will be an hour long instead of 90 minutes while the second session will last 45 minutes with a 15 minutes break in between.
