Dear Fieldstone Community,
Another busy week has come to an end, and Fieldstone students have been immersed in learning and … having fun! Today marks exactly one month since the start of this academic year – and we are all wondering where time has flown! Soon our Six Week Reports will go out, where parents will get an update on how their children have progressed over the course of the beginning of term. Our teachers have done such a wonderful job providing stimulating, engaging lessons. A gentle reminder that these and future reports are posted on pre-decided dates on the Connect Portal. If you are unable to log in or do not have an account yet, please send an email to frontdesk@fieldstoneschool.org, and we will help you gain access.
Photo Day went smoothly for FDS students; our students looked very smart in their Number One uniforms. Thank you to the FPA volunteers who helped our students to look their very best! Please note, photo retakes are scheduled for Friday, November 15.
Clubs will be starting soon! We hope you have registered your child/ren in clubs that will help them hone their skills, make friends, and have fun! In case you missed it, the club registration form is HERE. Please note that the form will close on Thursday, October 10th.
The Scholastic Book Fair is also coming up. Please encourage your child to become part of the ‘Book Fair Crew.’ This is a wonderful way for children who love reading to share their love for reading with others, and a great opportunity if you want to encourage your child to read more! Learn more about the Fieldstone Book Fair HERE, and become a ‘Book Fair Parent’ by signing up HERE.
We are also excited for the Fieldstone Day School (K – 7) trip to Downey’s Farm on October 23rd and look forward to planning some Halloween ‘spookiness’ around the same time. Stay tuned for more details!
A reminder that we have two four-day weeks coming up on account of Thanksgiving.
Until next week, take care and all the best.
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.
