Ramadan 2022 Is Coming!!
What school faculty needs to know:
Ramadan is the Muslim month of fasting. Practicing Muslim students will be fasting from dawn until dusk (approx 6:00am to 8:00pm)
Fasting means NO FOOD and NO WATER.
Ramadan celebration often involves prayers late into the night.
It is not unusual to be up past midnight for prayers and then get up around 5am to eat before dawn and pray.
Ramadan 2022 will last approximately from April 2-May 2. Ramadan is scheduled on the lunar calendar so it moves dates each year.
Muslim students may be timre, hungry, and dehydrated in your classes-especially if they are with you late in the afternoon.
