Dear Fieldstone Community,
Semester Two started this week, and we are pleased that our students are focused and committed to success. The first two days were spent getting introduced to the courses and getting familiar with the way the course content will be covered, including a detailed blueprint for success in each course. We wish our students the very best of luck this semester!
In a special orientation assembly on Wednesday, our students were reminded of the importance of time management and good planning. While our graduating seniors are busy meeting offers and completing requirements, the rest of our students are equally busy planning for smooth pathways to graduation. The beginning of the semester is a good time to confirm that everything is going according to plan; many students had guidance meetings to plan future courses and selections. We look forward to seeing them succeed.
Exam results will be published on Edsembli portal tonight. Students and parents should be able to access the reports on the day, although the course results and credits were viewable on January 28. In case you are unable to access it, please send us an email at [email protected] and let us know.
Our plans for the day ski trip at the end of February have been finalised. International families are requested to please ensure that the medical insurance of their students is up to date.
Finally, we end with a gentle reminder that we expect students to wear their Fieldstone uniforms and present a polished and serious look. We thank parents for their support in ensuring that students are smartly dressed for school. We are very proud of the cohesiveness and unity in our community. Our Fieldstone uniform promotes and projects that bond.
Until next week, stay warm and have a lovely weekend.
Sincerely,
Shumaila Khan
Head of School
