Mathoween: 10/29 from 5-7

New Family Guide: Letter M

Halloween at Alice Carlson is a bit non-traditional, which makes it all the more fun!

Mathoween is an evening event of math games and clever costumes. In the weeks leading

up to Mathoween, each class works together to create their own math game. On the night of

Mathoween, students are expected to “work” a shift for their class booth/game, and they

also get to play the games created by the other classes. To make the evening even more fun,

students come dressed in math-themed costumes. Think Acute Witch, The Count, a Pi-lot or

Pi-rate!

Field Day: 11/1 from 12:30-3:00

New Family Guide: Letter F

Field Day is held on the open sports field behind the school during school hours. True to

Carlson fashion, it is a unique event that gives students a chance to lead, work in a team,

use their imaginations, get moving and have a great time. Students rotate through stations

to participate in wonderfully novel games based on a chosen theme for that year. It is a

great way to foster a sense of community among all classes and age groups. Typically, 5th

grade students lead each team along with teachers and parent volunteers.

Field Day Theme 2024: Supersized Everything

Get ready for some supersized fun this year with games like a 100 ft obstacle course and a giant ring toss! Make sure to send students to school in athletic dress and tennis shoes.

Field Day Visitors

You are welcome to attend Field Day. Please come to the canopy door to check in with a staff member. Ensure your visitor tag is visible, indicating that you are checked in.

No Early Dismissals

Because each field day team comprises students K-5, we will NOT honor early dismissals after the event. Students will have designated areas to report back to, go back into the building, and get ready for release. You may move to your grade level dismissal location outside or enter the car line. We appreciate your understanding of this requirement to ensure a safe dismissal for all students.

Field Day Station Volunteers

Please sign up if you are interested in volunteering at one of our field day stations. Coach Mike will be reaching out to schedule a time to review stations with parent volunteers.
