Way to go everyone!!!!!!!

If you are a female you would have had the opportu-

nity to witness an exhilarating and competitive dis-

play of great basketball between the teachers and

Grade 7 and 8 girls on Friday, May 18, 2012.

Amid the sounds of the enthusiastic support from KG-

6 grade girls, and Islamic anasheed, an intense game

was played.

It was a close game in the first quarter with the girls

tying the teachers at 8 points. However, the teachers

started taking big strides in the second, third and

fourth quarter with superstar Ms. Williams scoring an

astonishing 18 points! In the end, the teachers won

the game 44-17. Way to go girls!!!

be able to do each year in each sub-

ject. The report card tells you if

your child has met these expecta-tions.

The report card focuses on clear

descriptions of how well your child

has acquired the key skills, knowl-

edge and attitudes in each subject.

The report card does not involve

percentages in elementary school.

Instead it uses four levels of

achievement to help describe how

In November of 2012, the Fort

McMurray Public School District will

be implementing a new K 6 reportcard. This report card will be out-

comes based which means student

progress will be reported differently

than what you are used to currently.

The new elementary report card is

tied directly to the Alberta curricu-

lum. Albertas curriculum is out-

comes-basedit describes what

your child is expected to know and

well your child has met expecta-

tions.

Parents will be invited to informationsessions with your School Council

some time before the end of this

school year and again in the fall of

2012. Please check your schools web-

site and newsletters for details.

Opportunities will be provided for

parents to give feedback.

solve their problems by cutting off

their dealings with others and going

into seclusion? They seek to treat

their ailments with something that

is a sickness itself. They wind uplonging to return to the very circum-

stances that they had so much de-

tested before.

Specialists in problem management

have set down the following practi-

cal steps for dealing with one's prob-

lems. These steps can be summa-

rized as follows: 1. Perceiving and

recognizing the problem.

2. Defining the

problem correct 3. Research, exami-

nation, and fact finding, with a fo-cus on pinpointing causes.

4. Setting down alternatives and

options, then evaluating them and

weighing their pros and cons.

5. Determining

the option that will provide the best

solution to the problem.

It is related from Ibn Mas`d that

Who does not have problems?

Problems are a part of life. If it were

not for distance and separation, peo-

ple would never know the joy ofmeeting and reunion. If it were not

for poverty, people would not know

wealth. And if it were not for sor-

row, people would not know joy.

In this manner, Allah has permitted

the world to be a place of passage,

where pleasure is accompanied by

pain and laughter by tears, a world

where the degree and severity of

suffering is commensurate to the

degree of happiness a person feels

when that suffering goes away. Inspite of all this, the goodness, com-

panionship, and human welfare that

social interactions bring about can

never be attained by a person who

lives in isolation. The evils brought

about by seclusion are far greater

than the discomfort that comes from

dealing with others.

How many people have tried to

Allah's Messenger said: "The best

form of worship is to wait for relief."

[Sunan al-Tirmidh (3571), al-

Bazzr (Majma` al-Zaw'id

10/147), and al-Bayhaq in Shu`abal-Imn (7/204)] This narration,

though, is weak. [1]

At the same time, there can be no

doubt that expecting relief from Al-

lah is a form of worship, since it is

part of being patient. Sometimes the

best solution is to postpone action

and be patient until the right oppor-

tunity comes along for a solution to

be sought.
