As we're sure many have experienced in the previous Ramadans, and especially last year during online school and family reunions, it's been tough on all of us as a Ramadan fasting community to balance out between our academic careers and spiritual care. This petition is an active representation of the community's concerns. It has been founded to understand how many people would want an RCRC formed, as we trust that our administration will accept to work by it for the community's benefit. Our vision is for this petition to be proposed to the administration and its proposer/s to collaborate with them to form an elected/appointed RCRC consisting of fasting and non-fasting faculty members & students. This RCRC team will work under the framework of creating a fit scheme and adapting optimal schedule changes, forming an all-inclusive academic schedule. Discussions to be conducted and solutions to be proposed, even polls to be made.

im hearing from so many people about how hard it is to focus on exams while fasting and honestly it just confirms why we need this committee. were putting together a proposal for the admin right now so they have to take these concerns seriously.

im honestly blown away by how many of you feel the same way about balancing school and faith during ramadan. this momentum shows that we really need a seat at the table to figure out a better way forward.

We will be fasting so we won’t be focused at 8 in the morning. it’s better if classes start later.
We need to do asynchronous because of the fact that the majority of students are fasting, and it is really tough to fast and do online school.
I hve four AP exams in may and it is really hard to manage homework and review the materials to be ready for the ap exams.
The schedule needs to be changed. We can finish at 2:15 rather than 3:55, the school can cancel the lunch break and moving office hours to be after 2:15.
Some polls might need to be made for this issue. It needs to be studied how many people sleep after Suhoor and how many people prefer to use that time for spiritual practices. However, the promise is to make everyone feel comfortable, even if that requires confronting professionals or whatever else it requires!
Start at 9:30-10
shorter classes

I have a suggestion for the new schedule which is having a 2 hours late start. However, to avoid having classes until 6pm, lets shorten the lunch break to about 45 minutes and make the office hours/club time after the forth period.
