Dear Fieldstone Families,
We hope you have all had a wonderful week. It was lovely to come together today for our Family Fun Day, Terry Fox Run, picnic, and House Games. Our students brought great energy and school spirit to the day, and we hope they came home with happy memories. Please visit our Instagram page to see photos from the event, and be sure to follow us for more Fieldstone updates throughout the year.
Please note that, beginning this year, we will no longer be using Google Classroom. If your child is absent, kindly email the front desk. We will work with teachers to collect any necessary classwork and send it directly to parents by email.
We will also no longer be sending weekly classroom updates. This change will allow teachers to dedicate more time to lesson planning, student learning, and direct communication with families when needed. Important school-wide information will continue to be shared through the Friday File, while teachers will contact parents directly regarding any student-specific updates or concerns.
We also ask all families to complete the Student Information Form, if you have not already done so:

Thank you, as always, for your continued support and trust in Fieldstone. We wish everyone a restful and enjoyable 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.
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.
