Dear Fieldstone Community,
It was lovely to welcome our students back to school after the March break! We hope everyone had a restful and relaxing time with family and friends.
The week was spent getting back into the flow of things here at Fieldstone. Over March break, Fieldstone students participated in the Legion Public Speaking contest and the Kangaroo Math competition. This week, we had our Class Spelling Bees, and the top three spellers from each grade participated in the Fieldstone Spelling Bee on Friday. The top spellers will go on to compete in the preliminary round on April 6, leading up to the National Super Spelling Bee! Well done to our amazing students! Please enjoy the photos below.
Today was ‘Career Day,’ and we saw astronauts, doctors, engineers, jujitsu champions, scientists and a few singers in our classrooms and hallways. Some very creative (and optimistic) future careers were also represented! Please enjoy the photo below.
The Fieldstone Drama Club’s production of William Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo & Juliet’ is in the final stages of preparation and rehearsals. We look forward to seeing you at the performance on April 11. Please complete the RSVP form HERE.
Fieldstone’s Spring Showcase is going to be extra special this year. The theme is ‘Swing & Salsa’, and our audience is invited to join the fun … and dance! Please read Mr. Morales’s letter to the Fieldstone community HERE. Please spend a few moments completing the RSVP form HERE.
We look forward to seeing you at our second Parent Teacher Interviews on Friday, April 4. On this day, we will have an early dismissal for our students (at 11:40 a.m.). Appointments will be 5 – 10 minutes, depending on the grade and subject, and are available from 1:00 – 6:30 p.m. Please send an email to [email protected], to book a spot with your child’s teachers. After-care will be available until 3:30 p.m. ($10 per hour). If your child(ren) are staying past 11:40 a.m. on this day, please inform [email protected].
We’ll end this week’s Friday File by sharing a video of a violin performance of our Grade Seven students at the Royal Conservatory of Music on March 8. Please enjoy Sophia Chen’s incredible talent HERE. Many thanks to Sophia’s family for sharing the video with us!
Until next week, stay safe and have a wonderful weekend. A very special Eid Mubarak to all our friends and families who celebrate.
Sincerely,
Shumaila Khan

Character Counts! Pins Programme
Character building is important at Fieldstone, where we truly believe that character counts. The Character Counts! programme has found that there are at least six values that should be taught to all children. These are known as the “Six Pillars of Character”. Fieldstone students work diligently towards earning their Character Pins (photos on the right). We are very proud of them! Several students have been working diligently on their Character pins! You can find out more about the Character Counts Pin Programme HERE. If your child would like to participate in this wonderful programme, please ask your child to see Ms. Butcher.

A reminder that smoking/vaping is not allowed within 20 meters of the school perimeter and is strictly prohibited on school property. This is both a school policy and provincial law.
There may be some children in your child’s class who have peanut and/or tree nut allergies. A friendly reminder that Fieldstone is a nut-free school. Please provide your child with nut-free snacks and lunch.
