I trust that everyone is off to a great summer break with family and friends. Our front offices are now closed and the front office staff will return August 1st. As we settle in for the rest of summer, I wanted to send out a few reminders and items to consider over the summer as we plan and prep for the coming school year. We are excited to meet our new families starting Pre-K-5th for the fall of 2024! My next communication will be sent on Sunday, August 11th with updates and information needed to successfully start the school year. For now, please enjoy the rest of your summer vacation and we will see you soon!

As we settle in for the rest of the summer break here are a few items to consider:

We have a few construction projects that are occurring on campus this summer. As we get closer to the start of the school year an update will be provided on any changes that will need to take place in order to access the campus with ease.

Due to budget cuts for the coming school year, we will not have noon aides working during our morning drop-off. The front semi-circle will remain our car drop-off for students and the side east gate (TK/Kinder side) will remain our walking gate for all students. All issued Simple Dismissal numbers for pick-up will remain the same for returning students-please do not discard your number cards. All new students will have the opportunity to pick up their Simple Dismissal numbers during our planned meet & greet on August 15th or on the first day of school-August 19th.

Drop-off in the morning will move to 8:25am to ensure we have adult supervision on campus. Please see the morning schedule listed below:

LEARNs provides early morning care from 7:00am-8:40am for parents that need assistance due to the new drop-off times. Sign up information is listed below.

Registration Application (A waitlist will be generated as space has filled up quickly which will trigger a need for additional classrooms for fall 2024)

Our focus for next school year will be on increasing our daily attendance rate and continuing to build our academic program. Your commitment to our program is truly appreciated. Our teachers and staff are committed to ensuring your children have the best educational experience here at Field Elementary. Thank you for your continued support to our incredible program!

In May 2024 our School Site Council (SSC) team discussed and decided to ensure financial support in our school budget for continued professional development training for the coming school year for our teachers. Due to budget cuts this decision has left us with a need to find creative ways to fund our schoolwide supplies that we normally carry in our school budget. Our instructional leadership team met at the beginning of June to determine ways to approach this situation. The supplies we normally take care of include but are not limited to copy paper, pens, pencils, folders, art supplies, printer ink, print jobs through Staples and other approved vendors etc. The team took the time to reach out to our teachers to create a list of supplies per grade level that we would need assistance with during this upcoming year. We are appreciative to the PTA team that provides our teachers with a monetary stipend for classroom specific projects and supplies during the school year. This stipend is projected to continue for the coming school year once the budget is approved by the association but our donation request for general school materials is still needed. A few of our teachers are on vacation but our list is included below. Grade levels that are still missing will be added once teachers officially report back to work on August 14th. To minimize multiple purchases of the same item, a Google form has been created to allow the donor to communicate their purchase/donation. In advance we want to thank you for your generous donations in order to assist our school site for the coming school year.
