Suffield Elementary is excited to host a 100 Cereal Box Challenge on Wednesday, February 19th, in celebration of 100's Day! We’ll be collecting full, unopened cereal boxes to build an incredible domino chain before donating them to the local food shelf and families in need. Join us in making a meaningful impact by sending in your unopened cereal boxes before Wednesday, February 19th!
We are very excited to start our first season of Youth Track and Field here at Field! We will send out more details on the season start dates (early April thru middle of May) once it's finalized.
We will likely practice 2-3 days per week at Field High School and plan to participate in 2-4 local meets (Tallmadge, Streetsboro, Kent, Field).
You do not need to be a resident of Field Local Schools (Brimfield/Suffield) to participate. We will accept registrations from other local communities.
We're thrilled to welcome you to our school, whether it's for a parent-teacher conference, a special event, or just to spend some time with your child's class. As you explore our wonderful learning environment, we wanted to take a moment to remind you about an important stop you can make while you're here - our Lost and Found!
Our Lost and Found is a treasure trove of forgotten items, from jackets and lunch boxes to water bottles and notebooks. Sometimes, the smallest and most valuable items end up there, waiting to be reunited with their owners. We encourage you to check the Lost and Found area located near the gym while you're visiting.
We also recommend labeling your child's items with their name and contact information to make it easier for us to return lost items promptly.
Temperatures are starting to drop and we would like to pass along some details about recess, so you can plan accordingly. We will go out to recess if the temperature is above 20 degrees. We would like to remind parents that there are certain areas on the playground where snow boots are required and other areas where snow pants and boots are required during the winter months. If they do not wear the proper attire for these areas, they will have to stay on the blacktop area. Thank you in advance for your help.
Listed below are the fees for each grade level. This money helps to pay for a portion of the workbooks, paper, and other consumable supplies. Please send this amount as soon as possible. Checks are to be made payable to FIELD LOCAL SCHOOLS. You can also pay your school fees online at Pay School Central by clicking here. All school fees (current and past due) are past due. As always, please contact Mrs. Bookman if you have any questions.

We are now hiring classified substitute workers for various roles, including Playground Monitors, Educational Aides, Cafeteria Workers, Secretarial Staff, Custodial Staff, Bus Aides, and Bus Drivers. A current BCI & FBI background check is required before applying for any substitute position. Some positions may also require an aide permit, which the Administration Office can help you obtain. You have the flexibility to work the hours that suit you, and you'll be on call to cover for regular employees. For more details or assistance with the application process, please contact Bev Bable at the Administration Office beverly.bable@fieldlocalschools.org.
At this time, we will allow Birthday Treats to be brought to school. We are required to inform you of the Healthy Eating Guidelines (see below) and suggest that you use this when selecting a treat. Whatever you choose, please note that all treats brought to school for the purpose of sharing with others, need to be prepackaged so we are able to know and see the ingredients list. There are many students who have a variety of food allergies and having the ingredients listed helps the school nurse determine if a student with allergies can eat a particular treat.
It’s time to start saving Acme receipts! Send in receipts dated August 1, 2024 or after to your child’s teacher. Acme will accept receipts from now until February 15, 2024!
