This year, we expect Ramadan to begin on Wednesday, Feb. 18, and Eid al-Fitr to be on Friday, March 20.
For some, balancing obligations at school while focusing on worship during Ramadan can be challenging. To help you avoid these challenges and focus on growing your faith, CAIR-CA has created downloadable letter templates* to assist you in requesting religious accommodation at school this Ramadan.
Examples of accommodation requests:
- Excusal from physical activity, such as P.E. classes, while fasting
- Prayer rooms/spaces
- Flexible scheduling to allow time for Jummah
- Shift substitutions or swaps
- Time off to celebrate Eid
