May 3, 2024
Dear Fieldstone Community,
We are gearing up for an exciting end-of-the-year period. With our teachers and students hard at work wrapping up their courses, making sure all requirements are being met, we have a few events lined up that will make these final two months memorable!
In Monday’s assembly, the name of the Star Performer of the Month of April will be announced. This student has consistently demonstrated the Fieldstone values: Caring, Fairness, Trustworthiness, Citizenship, Responsibility and Respect. We hope that the influence of this young person as a future leader positively affects our student community!
Speaking of leadership, it is now time for us to start considering potential Prefects for the next academic year. Prefects are role models, representatives, and leaders. In Monday’s assembly, we will invite students to apply for leadership positions. Please encourage your child to apply!
One of our old students, a 2020 graduate who is currently in her third year at the University of Toronto, will speak to our students about her positive experiences at Fieldstone, and how the lessons she received from Fieldstone transformed her into a leader. We are very excited to welcome her back!
On May 24, FKCS students will go on an educational and fun-filled trip to Canada’s Wonderland. Please make sure the permission slips students have received are signed and returned as soon as possible! Our graduating students will also go on an overnight trip to Niagra for a unique ‘Prom’ experience. We wish them all the best!
And finally, please be informed that students have been asked to fill out a ‘Course Selection Form’ before Friday, May 10. We wish to finalise our courses and timetables before students head off for the summer. If you wish to make an appointment to discuss this, please send an email to skhan@fieldstonekcschool.org.
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.

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.
