Dear Parents/Guardians,

Assalamu-Alaikum!
I am the Grade 5A teacher, Head of the
Elementary Division, as well as, a mem-
ber of the Administrative Council. I hold
a Masters degree in English. I attained a
B. Ed degree and a teaching certificate
from York University. I have also com-
pleted Principal's Qualification Parts 1
and 2 from York University.
Alhamdulillah, I consider myself one of
the Pioneers of IFS, as I joined the
school in the second year of its incep-
tion. Since that time, I have had the priv-
ilege of observing many changes,
growth, and success of this prestigious
institution. I have had the pleasure of
serving in many committees such as
Awards, Science Fair, Admissions, Dis-
cipline, Book Fair, Spelling Bee,
Speeches, Mathematica, and Play Day.
I attribute the school's success to Allah s
blessings, wonderful students, supportive par-
ents, dedicated staff, and strong leadership.
In our Grade 5A and 5B classes we encourage
students to always have a positive attitude,
develop their collaborative skills, and display
teamwork.
Cooperation and teamwork have numerous
benefits for everyone. We therefore hope to
work together with parents as a team to help
our students achieve their goals, Insha Allah!
Please keep supporting us, and remember us in
your duas, Jazak Allah Khair.




TEXTBOOKS & AGENDAS:
All the textbooks will be numbered, and each student will be assigned a textbook, corresponding to
his or her number, according to the class list. At the end of the year, the students will be required
to return these books. Please encourage your child to be responsible in taking good care of them.
In case of loss or damage, a replacement fee (full cost of the book) will have to be paid by the par-
ents. Students will be allowed to keep the workbooks after the school year is over.
A school agenda (student planner) will be provided to each student. It is important for the students
to write down all their homework and take home all the necessary books and notebooks they will
need in order to complete it. It becomes the Parents responsibility to check the agenda on a daily
basis, and to make sure that homework has been completed. If it cannot be completed for any rea-
son, please send a note stating the reason(s) for incomplete homework. The agenda is also a tool
for communication between the parents and the teacher, as there is space provided for writing im-
portant notes and messages.

In 5A, we have 34 students (12
boys and 22 girls) and in 5B there
are 22 students (10 boys and 12
girls). During the first week of
school, we will have introductory
activities, and the class
rules and routines will be
established. In addition,
some textbooks, note-
books, duo-tangs, and sup-
plies will be provided to
the students.
As our school is a TRIBES
School, staff and students will be
following and implementing the
four TRIBES agreements
(Attentive Lis-
tening, Mutual
Respect, Appre-
ciation / No Put
Downs, and
Right to Pass).
This year at IFS, we will continue to strengthen our Akhlaaq program. The purpose of this program is to
instil in our students Islamic morals and values, thereby developing students into responsible Muslims and
good Canadian citizens. We will address one Akhlaaq trait each month in class and throughout the school.
The character trait for the month of September is Cleanliness, both internal and external.
Students are expected to be on time for class everyday in proper school uniform. It is mandatory for girls
to wear a white hijaab everyday. The morning bell is at 8:15 am. Students are to line up outside and make
their way to their classroom. If a student is habitually late, a note will be written in the agenda. Students
are to listen to the morning announcements quietly at their desks. In the morning we will participate in
Literacy/Numeracy initiatives, DEAR (Drop Everything and Read), or DPA (Daily Physical Activity).
Students are expected to come to
school equipped with all their books,
pencils, erasers, completed home-
work, proper uniform, morning
recess snack, and a nutritious lunch.
Do not send food with nuts.
For English Language, two readers from the Nelson program, What
Should I Do? and Making a Difference, as well as, Nelson
Spelling 5 will be used. To supplement the program, grammar and
phonics sheets will be used in order to further develop language skills
and expand students vocabulary. Students are required to present a
book report and/or conduct a novel study during the course of the year.
They will be encouraged to employ cursive writing skills and/or colour
coding skills in their work.
