April 12, 2024
Dear Fieldstone Community,
As we head into the final months of the semester and school year, we can see our students working with enthusiasm to achieve their goals and teachers supporting them in these endeavours! We are fortunate to be part of a caring, supportive community!
Semester 2 Midterm Reports will be available on the Student Portal on Thursday, April 18.
Today, ten students participated in the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT). The Literacy Test is administered by Ontario’s Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) and determines whether a student has the literacy (reading and writing) skills required to meet the standard for understanding reading selections and communicating in a variety of writing forms expected by The Ontario Curriculum across all subjects. Successful completion of this test is a requirement for the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD). Students will receive their scores in six to eight weeks. We wish our students all the best!
If you have not done so already, please email front desk from April 8 to 24 to book an appointment for the Semester 2 Parent-Teacher Interviews on Wednesday April 24. Parent-teacher interviews provide family members and guardians with the opportunity to discuss the student’s progress and to consider goals for the remainder of the semester. Each appointment is 10 minutes. Parents and guardians will have the option to choose online or onsite meetings. Online meetings will be scheduled in the morning; onsite meetings will be scheduled in the afternoon. A link will be sent to you for each online meeting. Please note that there will be no classes on April 24. We request you to avail yourself of this opportunity to discuss your child’s progress with his or her teachers.
Re-registered students can now make appointments to select their courses for next semester. For students interested in taking summer courses this summer, please click HERE for the Summer School registration form.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Sincerely,
Shumaila Khan
Head of School

Star Performer Programme
The criteria for a student to be a Star Performer are:
- The chosen student practises the Fieldstone Values (Caring, Fairness, Trustworthiness, Citizenship, Responsibility and Respect). The student must have shown at least three values. Teachers will be asked to provide an example of how these values were demonstrated per student.
- Academic Performance and Motivation (this will be reviewed monthly by the teachers and whichever student has the best performance and motivation during the 30-day period)
- Uniform is to be perfect for the entire month. Number One Dress on Mondays. Regular Uniform on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. This includes shoes, dress pants, kilts, blazers, sweaters – No non-Fieldstone jackets in class.
- The Star Student will receive a framed certificate from Fieldstone Kings College School.

Please follow the steps to create a new password by clicking on ‘request a password change.’ Once you have a new password, you can access the account and check reports.

Volunteer Hours can be completed inside or outside Fieldstone, but they must make sure they check the list of eligible and non-eligible activities before signing up.

No Smoking or Vaping Policy
A reminder to students 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.
Parking Lot Drop-off/Pick-Up Loop – Reminder
Please do not park in the drop-off/pick-up loop of the parking lot, as this will block other cars from being able to enter and exit the school property safely. If you are waiting to pick up your child(ren), please park in a parking spot, not the parking lot loop. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
