Dear Fieldstone Community,
We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Clubs started this week, and Fieldstone students were busy participating in interesting and engaging club activities. If you would like your child to join a club or clubs, please send us an email, and we will accommodate them. Everyone is welcome to join!
Our students are excited about the trip to Downey’s Farm next week. Please remember to send your child(ren)’s permission form if you haven’t done so already. Also, a gentle reminder to please make sure they are dressed warmly on the day, as the weather has turned chilly.
The Book Fair is also coming up next week! Many thanks to the FPA for helping us organise this event!
We hope the Six-Week Report Card gave an idea of the learning progress of your child/ren so far in the term. If you are unable to log in to Edsembli Connect, please send us an email at frontdesk@fieldstoneschool.org, and we will activate/reactivate your account. Please note that the Six-Week Report is a progress report based on initial observations and assessments only. It represents each teacher’s professional judgment based on formal, informal, and observational data collected to date, and helps them create a bespoke learning plan for each child as they progress in the curriculum.
We are also planning fun Halloween activities. These include:
- Homeroom Door Decoration (Week of October 28) – Students are encouraged to bring items to school for door decoration. (We wonder which classroom will be the ‘Spookiest?’)
- Pumpkin Carving Contest (Tuesday, October 29)
- Halloween Class Parties & School Party (Thursday, October 31) – with fun prizes for costumes!
Some great news for our young artists: our FKCS Art Teacher, Mr. Joseph Romantini, is inviting students from Grades Four to Seven to join his Art Club. If you wish your child to join, please fill out the form HERE no later than Monday, October 21.
Until next week, take care and have a wonderful weekend.
Sincerely,
Shumaila Khan
Head of School

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.
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.
