Field Flash

Dear Field Parents and Guardians,

We hope you are having a great week! It was so nice to connect with parents during our second and third evenings of parent-teacher conferences. Thank you, again, to our PTO for coordinating dinner each evening for staff!

A few reminders:

• There is no school on Monday, October 14th.
• Please follow the rules of the road when driving for drop off - our school is in a neighborhood and we want to be sure we are being good neighbors with our parking and driving! We've received calls from neighbors this week who are very frustrated with blocked driveways and have alerted the Park Ridge police.
• Please remember that there is no supervision before or after school on the playground or blacktop. Children should be supervised by a grown-up.
• Please be sure you call the main office as early in the day as possible if your child is not taking the bus home.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Sincerely,

Dr. Courtney Goodman

Principal

Field School will celebrate Halloween on Thursday, October 31st in the afternoon. Please review this handout for more information about our plans. Special thank you to our PTO room parents who will spearhead our classroom celebrations.

• Monday, October 14th: No School for Indigenous Peoples' Day
  
• Tuesday, October 15th: PTO meeting
• Thursday, October 31st: Halloween (details posted above)
• Tuesday, November 5th: No School for Election Day

All students will eat in lunch in one of our large group spaces (north gym, south gym, or MPR). Students will sit at tables in assigned seats by homeroom. Students are able to bring their lunch from home or purchase a lunch in advance. If you are interested in ordering lunch from Quest, please visit our website linked here for more information. Lunch orders are due by Thursday at midnight for the following week. As a reminder, we do not allow lunches to be delivered to students from outside vendors or restaurants. If your child forgets his or her lunch at home, you are able to drop it by the main office and we'll deliver it to them. If you can't bring a forgotten lunch, we can offer your child cheerios and milk.

Children are also permitted to leave school for lunch. Parents need to come to the main office and sign out their child(ren). Students would remain home for the full hour of lunch/recess.

Our PTO sponsors a weekly pizza lunch on Tuesdays. Please be on the lookout for information on ordering your child's weekly pizza soon!

We are taking submissions for the Fall 2024 issue of the Field Flyer! Field Flyer is published a few times a year and features student artwork, jokes, interviews and more. See the attached file for inspiration - show us your best work!

Please email your submissions by Friday, Nov 8 to fieldflyer707@gmail.com. You can also drop them off to the office by the same due date.

Deadline to submit the 1st day of school, back to school bash, and Walk-a-thon pictures is October 27th. Remember to send them to fieldschoolyearbook@gmail.com and please include your child’s grade level in your email.

Thank you!
