Dear Fieldstone Families,
This has been a busy week for Fieldstone, with two major showcase events.
On Monday, after months of research and preparation, students from Grades Five to Eight presented their science projects at our Science Showcase. It was inspiring to see their curiosity, creativity, and enthusiasm for science on display. We now look forward to our students representing Fieldstone at the Toronto Science Fair. The Kindergarten to Grade Four Science videos have already been submitted and will soon be available on the TSF website! You may check our submissions for last year HERE.
Today, we enjoyed a fantastic Cultural Showcase, where students from all four houses shared traditions, cultural displays, and, of course, cuisine! This annual event has become a Fieldstone tradition for the community to get together and celebrate the rich diversity of cultures at Fieldstone. Each year, the proceeds collected from the sales of food items prepared with so much love by the wonderful Fieldstone families are donated to charity. This year, we are proud to share that we will be sending the entire sum to the Canadian Red Cross to support the community in Tumbler Ridge. We raised a total of $1,604. Congratulations to Fox House for having both the most ticket sales and the most item sales!
A huge thank you to our teachers who helped make both events such memorable events for the students and to the parents who contributed, participated, and showed up. It matters more than we can say. The biggest thank you is to our students who inspire and amaze us every day.
Congratulations to Joelle, Aazam, Victoria, Levi & Anika for their success in the Legion Speaking Contests, and Bravo! to all those who participated. Good luck also to the eighteen students who will appear in the Math Kangaroo Contest, and to those who will participate in the Spelling Bee of Canada. Congratulations to Niko and Valeria who have gone through to the finals of the Unexpected Voices Speech Competition. Fieldstone students show us every day what perseverance, motivation, and self-belief look like. We are so proud of all of you.
A friendly reminder that March Reports are now available on the Parent Portal. Should you require assistance logging in, please send an email to the Front Desk.
We look forward to welcoming everyone back after the break. We hope everyone enjoys time relaxing, recharging, and spending time with family and friends.
Sincerely,
Shumaila Khan
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).
