Dear Fieldstone Families,
We hope everyone has had a wonderful week. It has been a full and meaningful one at Fieldstone: students had a great Photo Day on Monday, our Grade 7-8 students enjoyed participating in the Ultimate Frisbee tournament on Tuesday, and we gathered for our Truth and Reconciliation assembly on Wednesday. Today, our Cross Country team represented the school with great energy and sportsmanship. We are very proud of all of our students.
Thank you as well to the families who joined us for Curriculum Night. We greatly appreciate your time, engagement, and continued partnership.
Please see below for important information and updates. A reminder that there will be no school on Friday, October 9 for a PD Day, or on Monday, October 12 for Thanksgiving.
Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend.
Sincerely,
Melany Butcher
Head of School

Reporting Student Attendance
At Fieldstone, student safety and security are of paramount importance. We request that parents inform us immediately if there is a planned absence or late arrival on any given day. In case of late arrivals, it is vitally important that a student signs in at the front desk on arrival, before proceeding to class. A special request to parents of students in Kindergarten to Grade Two: please sign your child in at the front desk on mornings when they are running late. This helps us maintain accurate attendance records and the information is critically important in case of emergencies.
Safe Departure (Aftercare)
Students staying for aftercare will need to be ‘signed out’ at the end of their stay by the parent or guardian picking them up. Please note that aftercare services are $10 per hour (cumulative).
Connect Portal – Fieldstone’s Report Sharing Platform
New families are requested to check their emails as they will receive joining instructions for the Fieldstone Connect Portal, the online platform where we upload reports and update student and family contact information. Click HERE for a link to the portal. All families are requested to check that they can log into the portal.
New Student Referral Programme
If you refer new students to Fieldstone and they enroll, you will receive a $1,000 tuition subsidy or cheque per new student as a token of appreciation.
Help Fieldstone grow! If you know someone who’s interested in Fieldstone, send us an email so they can experience our unique programme.
Community Reminders and Updates
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.
