Greetings Returning PUSD Students/Families,

As we plan for the coming school year, your intent to return to our school and/or another PUSD school site is important for staffing and class configurations purposes. This form is to be completed by all Pre-K-5th grade families. The deadline is Friday, April 26th. Families that complete this first form will receive an additional link to make requests for the coming school year. Your request will be taken into consideration but our class placement criteria (see below) will ultimately be used and implemented to establish all cohorts for next school year.

Field Elementary Intent to Return

Class Placement Criteria:

1. Native Mandarin and Non-native- English-only and balance

2. An adequate gender ratio balance

3. A full range of aptitudes within each class

4. An even proportion of abilities/learning styles across the classes at each grade level

5. An equal number of pupils in each class per grade level

6. An even proportion of children with English language proficiency

Please note that individual requests have been taken into consideration but final decisions and selections of class placements reside with the school officials. All placements are on a “stay-put status” during our enrollment count period the first two to six weeks of school. No changes will be made during this time.

The Summer Spark Program Application Deadline is Friday, March 29, 2024. For more information, call (626) 396-3614 or visit https://www.pusd.us/learns https://forms.gle/esKPbJNEuAhm9qMW9

Our evening performance is technically SOLD OUT (Thursday, May 16th 6:30pm). This is an event that all guests need to RSVP to join us for the performance due to the building's occupancy capacity. It is my understanding that some families might have double sets of tickets. As there are a few families that were not able to secure tickets for the evening performance, I would ask that these families email me so that I can release the "extra tickets" to other families that currently do not have secured seat(s) for Thursday, May 16th.

The second option is to complete the survey HERE and we will try to accommodate families on Wednesday, May 15th during our 9am performance and/or 2pm performance.

Please ensure that you have pre-ordered your snacks/drinks for the evening performance using the QR code below.

Cast and crew members of the musical please see the practice schedule HERE

Please ensure you pack a snack for your child as they will practice on their respective days from 3:30pm-5:00pm (after snack time from 3:10pm-3:30pm) in the MPR.

Production Practice REMINDERS:

Monday, May 13th 2:00pm-4:30pm (ALL CAST & CREW) MANDATORY PRACTICE

Tuesday, May 14th 3:30pm-5:30pm (ALL CAST & CREW) MANDATORY PRACTICE

All cast & crew will need to be in attendance to our final practices. If we continue to have absences our understudies who have attended practices will perform on Wednesday and Thursday next week.

All cast & crew members will need to stay for the entire production performance both on Monday and Tuesday. Please make sure to pack a snack both days for your children due to the long day!

School is a place for learning and students should bring items that are necessary to fully engage and enrich their minds in the lessons and projects their teachers spend countless hours preparing for them every single week. Our focus and perspective should be geared toward areas of growth within our program and the academic areas that we have for all students at Field Elementary. Personal items and toys that could potentially be a distraction from the education happening during school hours are not permitted on campus. We have allowed personal sports items and/or sports balls on campus as long as these items are held and used appropriately during school hours. Of course, there are exceptions to the rule on a case by case basis if a homeroom teacher has a "show and tell" or event that permits personal items or toys on campus. Please note these circumstances are under the direction of a teacher and/or staff.

In the last few months the number of stolen personal items, personal injuries to innocent bystanders due to improper use of sports balls, and general disruptions to the school day has increased exponentially. This has also resulted in several items being confiscated and an increase in staff time spent investigating stolen or destroyed personal items. I do not want to completely prohibit these items on campus moving forward but compliance with the following rules and standards must be met immediately or I will move to restrict all items on campus.

Personal Items (not school related) and/or toys are only permitted on campus if your teacher (Homeroom or English) permits these items on campus for an event.

Personal sports balls and/or equipment are permitted on campus if the following occurs:

1. The owner of the sports ball and/or equipment item(s) takes full responsibility for the proper use or misuse of the item brought to campus.

2. The owner of the item(s) should be in charge of the item(s) at all times while on campus.

3. Sports balls and/or sports equipment are not permitted to be used in the hallways, or classrooms at any time. Students should hold their item(s) in their hands without bouncing, tossing, throwing and/or utilizing any other movement until they have successfully made it to the playground area and/or sports courts during their designated time at recess and/or free time during school hours.

4. Sports equipment for structured PE classes will be solely determined by the teacher in charge of the class. The teacher will be the sole person to determine if a personal sports item(s) and/or equipment item(s) will be used during a structured class.

5. If item(s) are confiscated for misuse the item will be stored until such time a parent/guardian can come to retrieve the item from the front office. Additionally, the student will need to speak with Dr. Tucker regarding the violation reported.

6. All teachers/staff on campus can enforce the measures put in place to keep all students and staff safe on campus.

7. Continued reports of violation to the measures put in place will result in further consequences for the owner of the sports ball and/or sports equipment.

I will be visiting all classrooms to discuss these items and measures with the students and staff. If I do not see a marked improvement in the number of unnecessary injuries or there continues to be a blatant disregard for the rules put in place for safety, I will be forced to take further action.

Expensive or sentimental items with significant value and meaning should not be on campus for any reason.

https://www.smore.com/4z7utWe have moved to a new format for the delivery of events/activities/weekly communication. The old format will be available as listed below:

Wednesday, May 2nd

Sunday, May 5th

Wednesday, May 8th
