Dear Fieldstone Families,
This week, Fieldstone students visited Casa Loma to experience the festivities of the season. With acrobats, singers, performances, shows, and a grand tour of the majestic castle, our students stepped into December – and the holiday season – with enthusiasm and joy. We are equally excited to welcome everyone to the Winter Showcase concert next week. It is going to be another wonderful time to come together as a community.
Fieldstone’s winter concert this year is all about folk music. Students have been learning about the different varieties of folk songs from around the world and will present their talents in what we expect will be a joyful celebration of music and culture. Students are encouraged to wear traditional clothing from their own country or culture, regardless of the music that has been chosen for them to perform. Please see the dress code options below.
Option 1 – Traditional clothing from own country/culture
Option 2 – Number One uniform
Kindergarten to G8 students are required to be in their homeroom by 5:30 p.m. Our regular dismissal time is 3:30, but you have the option to pick up your child earlier on this day. Students who are not going home after school will be placed in our After-care programme from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. A fee of $20 will apply, and a light dinner will be provided. If you are picking your child up early or your child will be participating in the After-care programme, please kindly send an email to Front Desk.
Fieldstone families have received re-registration letters for the 2026–2027 academic year today. Ms. Butcher and I wanted to offer a sincere note of thanks to all of you for your partnership and support of Fieldstone this year. We hope to continue to strengthen this relationship, and to share our successes and plans for the years ahead. Thank you for your trust in us, and in the Fieldstone vision.
Finally, for all those celebrating the start of Hanukkah on Sunday, we wish you a joyful celebration with family and friends.
Until next week, take care and have a lovely weekend.
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).
