The Parent & Student Handbook sets out the school’s policies, expectations, and procedures, so you can find the answer when needed.
Common questions
The policies families ask about most.
The handbook is the full record. These are the policies parents most often need in a hurry, explained plainly.
Attendance and the school day
The school day runs from 8:00 to 3:25, and a student who arrives after 8:05 is marked tardy. From Kindergarten through Grade 9, children must attend the full day: Arkansas law requires it, so an early pick-up for a K–9 student is not a routine option. Families of preschool children are different, and may pick their child up early or at any time in the day.
Enrollment is full-time at every stage. The school does not offer part-time places or a reduced number of days per week.
Attend • Arrive • Agree
Accommodations
Accommodations for a student’s learning are agreed through a meeting with administration, and only with administration’s approval, under certain conditions and with proper documentation. If your child has a diagnosis or report, bring it: the documentation is what the decision rests on.
Clubs and lunch
No child joins an after-school club without a parent’s consent, and clubs carry a sign-up fee. School lunch is ordered by the month: families sign up and commit for the whole month, at $9 per meal.
In our wordsK-9 is required by state law to attend school for the full day and meet state educational requirements.
Our classrooms
Boys and girls learn in the same classrooms.
The Huda Academy provides mixed gender learning environments for all grades pre-k through 12th grade with a focus on creating inclusive, nurturing, and developmentally appropriate classrooms for all students. Based on school vision we educate students on how to appropriately interact socially with students of the opposite gender to prepare them for society.Needs fixing
Inclusive • Nurturing • Prepared
What that means day to day
Boys and girls are taught together at every stage of the school. The school sees this as part of its vision: children learn how to behave appropriately with classmates of the opposite gender, so that they leave ready for the society they will live and work in. Each classroom is set up for the age of the children in it.
Where the school does separate
School teams are the exception. The volleyball team is for girls and the soccer team is for boys. If you have questions about how the policy applies to your child’s class or age group, the school office will talk it through with you.

What it covers
A school handbook is where the detail lives: attendance and tardiness, behavior expectations, the dress code, health and medication, emergencies, and the fees and payments that go with enrollment. Where this website gives a summary, the handbook is the version the school holds families to.
The school will confirm
The fee section of the handbook. The previous handbook names a registration fee, a building fee, a book fee and a cot fee, while the school has since said there is one tuition amount with no breakdown. Which is current?
