Field Flash
May 5, 2023
Dear Field Parents and Guardians,
We hope you've had a nice week!
Our PTO Spring Carnival is tomorrow from 12-3pm. We hope you'll stop by for fun and games. The carnival is hosted inside Field School, and you can purchase game tickets at the door.
The week of May 8-12 is our Staff Appreciation Week. This is the week where we focus on appreciating all of our staff members - teachers, nurses, teachers' assistants, speech pathologists, custodians, lunch supervisors, bus drivers, and more! Our school wouldn't function as smoothly without all of these important people! We are so appreciative of our hardworking, dedicated staff! Thank you, in advance, for thanking these important people this week!
We are making excellent progress on registration! Each grade level is within 10-20 students of being fully registered! Please know that any families not registered by June 1st will be full unenrolled and will receive a records release, as we will assume you are moving to another district. For more information, visit https://www.d64.org/about/register.
A few reminders:
Now that the weather has warmed up, many families are remaining after school to play on the playground at Field. Please remember that there is not adult supervision, so parents should supervise children on the playground. We do appreciate if you follow our school playground rules (no climbing on top of the covered slides or up the slides are two important ones).
We have baby bunnies on the playground - please talk with your child(ren) about the importance of leaving them be and not touching any wildlife (here or other places).
Please know outside toys, like Pokemon cards, should not be brought to school. Please double check with your child to be sure Pokemon cards are left at home.
Please note the playground is CLOSED before school, as there is no supervision.
We know some students have Smart Watches or cell phones - please know students are not permitted to use these items during the day. Devices should be powered off or set to a "school time". If your child needs to contact you, they can use the phone in our office.
Please remember to use the sidewalks (rather than the staff parking lot) when walking to and from Field. We do have staff who are arriving or leaving during these times.
Please continue to remember that dogs are not allowed at arrival and dismissal.
If your child (or you) ride a bike or scooter to and from school, please walk the vehicle on the blacktop.
Have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Dr. Courtney Goodman
Principal
