March 8, 2024
Dear Fieldstone Community,
Our students are busy with academics and co-curriculars. Please encourage your child to participate in at least two clubs: we have a lot of clubs that will appeal to everyone’s interests!
Semester Two Progress Reports will be published on Student Portals on Friday. If you are unable to access these on Connect, please send an email to office@fieldstonekcschool.org. The Progress Report will give you a sense of how your child is doing so far in the courses they have selected.
Our Yearbook Committee has been working diligently putting together a collection of wonderful memories to reflect on at the end of the school year. If you have photos to share, please send them to yearbook@fieldstonekcschool.org.
As a friendly reminder, there is a time change this weekend. On Sunday at 2:00 a.m., clocks “spring forward” an hour, marking the start of daylight-saving time. We trust everyone will have an enjoyable two weeks of March Break! Classes resume on March 25.
Wishing you and your family a wonderful March Break!
Sincerely,
Shumaila Khan
Head of School
Fieldstone University Admissions
The best universities in the country recognise and trust that Fieldstone students offer something special in terms of intellect, talent, creativity, curiosity, and most importantly: character. We are proud of all our students and wish them every success as they move ahead with their academic journeys.
Toronto Public Health
Recently, TPH announced an investigation of a confirmed case of measles linked to travel. This virus continues to spread in many parts of the world. If you are planning to leave the country over March Break, get the best protection for you and your loved ones by staying up to date with your routine vaccines, including the measles vaccine. These vaccines are available from your primary health care provider or at a TPH community clinic for school-aged children by appointment. Visit TPHbookings.ca for more information. If you are unsure of your child’s vaccination status, check their yellow card (Ontario Immunization Record), TPH’s Immunization Connect Ontario (ICON) or speak with their primary health care provider.
Please read the letter from Toronto Public Health HERE.
Online Learning Requirements
This is a reminder that students require a full laptop with a working web camera and microphone to participate in online learning. iPad does not allow screen-sharing and web cameras to work at the same time and will not be permitted for online testing. For more details, please check our Online Addendum.

- 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.

If you are a first-time user, you will have received an email from Edsembli Connect at the email address we have on record for you. 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. If you have previously been able to log into the Parents portal and have been unable to do so now, please let us know, and we’ll fix the problem.

All FKCS students are reminded that they will need to complete their “Volunteer Hours” before they graduate high school. 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.
