Motivation to learn, good study habits and support at home are all factors which contribute to your child's school success. But none of it matters if your child is not at school! As your child starts a new school year, remember that one of your most important responsibilities is to make sure he/she is in school every day unless there is an illness.

School absences affect:

• Your child. Children who miss school regularly are at risk of getting poor grades and getting in trouble with the law. Much of your child's success in life depends on a high school diploma. Having a diploma opens many doors; not having one can slam them shut.
• The whole class. Learning builds day-by-day, and this routine is interrupted when students are absent.

If your child is not coming to school due to illness or an appointment, please call the office by 8:00a.m. 330- 673-4176

Akron Children's Hospital School-Based Health Center is partnering with the Field Local School District to provide a shot clinic for middle school students during the week of September 23. They will be offering school-required vaccines for students in grades 6/7 on September 24 and flu vaccines for students in grades 6-8 on November 6. Forms were sent home with your students this week. If you would like for your child to participate, please complete the forms and return them to the school clinic no later than September 14. Please note that only students with consent forms completed by a parent/guardian can receive vaccinations. Thank you.

We are now hiring classified substitute workers for various roles, including Playground Monitors, Educational Aides, Cafeteria Workers, Secretarial Staff, Custodial Staff, Bus Aides, and Bus Drivers. A current BCI & FBI background check is required before applying for any substitute position. Some positions may also require an aide permit, which the Administration Office can help you obtain. You have the flexibility to work the hours that suit you, and you'll be on call to cover for regular employees.

As part of Field Middle School’s PBIS (positive behavioral interventions and supports) initiative, students at FMS will focus on promoting positive behavior expectations in various settings throughout the school year. As Field Falcons, our students are encouraged to S.O.A.R. by exhibiting the following positive behaviors; Safe, Outstanding, Accountable, and Respectful. Whether it’s in the classroom, cafeteria, parking lot, or the athletic field, FMS has established these behavior expectations to promote an enriching and supportive learning environment for all students.

Throughout the school year, students will take part in engaging lessons which hone in on the significance of each component of our S.O.A.R. initiative. Teachers and staff members will reward positive behavior with S.O.A.R. cards which can be exchanged for various prizes. Additionally, each quarter students who embody these qualities will participate in an incentive activity of their choosing. At FMS we take great pride in our students and want to see all of them reach their full potential and S.O.A.R. to be their very best everyday.

This letter is to inform you of the immunization requirements for students entering the 7th grade in the state of Ohio. All seventh-grade students will be required to have one additional dose of Tdap (Tetanus, Diphtheria and Pertussis), as a booster to the initial series of required doses. Ohio is requiring the Tdap vaccine, as opposed to Td, to protect against Pertussis (whooping cough). In addition to the Tdap, your child is also required to receive the Meningococcal vaccine prior to the entry into Grade 7. The Meningococcal vaccine prevents bacteria that is commonly spread from person to person, especially in teens and young adults. These bacteria can cause meningitis, which is an infection of the fluid and lining surrounding the brain and spinal cord; it can also enter the bloodstream, causing sepsis. Please contact your health care provider to schedule an appointment to receive the vaccines your child will need for the next year. For a complete list of immunization requirements for school-age children in the State of Ohio, please go to:

REQUIRED 7th Grade shots (2 shots):

· Tdap (Tetanus, Diphtheria and Pertussis)

· Meningococcal vaccine
