Prayer Accommodations at School
For your childrens interest, accommodations for students taking a few minutes to catch their Dhuhr prayer are available. Please contact your childs appropriate teacher of that particular period via email (emails can be found on metros website, www.mnps.org) and copy your schools guidance counselor. Your child can also personally request the teacher as well. Letters for prayer arrangements during Ramadan (along with PE and lunch alternatives such as the library) have already been sent to all the schools. Letters for other specific accommodation have been revised and will be sent out.
