FIELD WEDNESDAY MESSAGE

Parents/Guardians:

Please check in starting at 9am

The following signs will be posted tomorrow:

Graduation Ceremony Check-In at the Front Fence Gate (west side)

If younger siblings would like to join the ceremony, parents will need to sign out/sign the student in for siblings of a promoting 5th grader from the main office. Please do not take students directly from classrooms.

Ms. Barbara Kolb has served as our sub Attendance Clerk for a majority of this school year. As she has devoted her retirement time to assist our school we have been thankful for all that she has completed for us during her time here at Field Elementary. As we are closing the school year, please direct your attendance questions and concerns to both Ms. Carol Ko (email- ko.carol@pusd.us) and Ms. Ning Cui (email-cui.ning@pusd.us). Your patience is appreciated as we are short staffed and dealing with end of the year wrap up!

If you have intentions of taking your child with you at the conclusion of your promotion ceremony and brief celebration (Kinder and 5th graders) please complete and return the early dismissal sheet no later than the day before your scheduled promotion. NO EXCEPTIONS. We do not have enough staff to accommodate processing and releasing all students on the day of the ceremony.

Kinder will distribute the form on Thursday, May 23rd to be return by Friday, May 24th

5th grade will distribute the form by Tuesday, May 28th to be returned by Wednesday, May 29th

Pre-K please follow the direction of your child's teachers.

All PUSD schools are closed campuses including Field Elementary for security of students, teachers and staff. As a parent you are not authorized to walk about the campus without first signing in and being cleared by the front office staff after stating the purpose of your visit and duration. Pick-ups from school on Monday's after 1pm and 2:30pm Tuesday-Friday have not been permitted since October 2023 as stated via Sunday and Wednesday messaging and parent meetings such at Tea & Talk with the Principal due to a continued breach in security of our school site. A video message in November 2023 explaining the reasoning for this implementation was also shared with the community. The policy and rational for this implementation was explained to the community and added to all messaging for several months. This has not changed. In order to protect our students, teachers and staff our closed campus will be enforced, especially as we open our doors for promotion events that will leave us vulnerable. Please do your part as a concerned and responsible parent of our community by abiding by the rules that have been put in place for security reasons, protection of our instructional minutes and flow our of our school day for all students/staff that attend Field Elementary. When you are visiting campus you must call the front office first and then be invited in to sign in at the front desk to attend to your busy on campus. If you are visiting for promotion, please ensure that you sign in and receive a visitors pass in order to transition to your ceremony location. Finally, if you see something, say something. The only way we are able to remain safe is if you practice and follow through with guidelines that have been put in place to keep your children safe and educated without fear of others who may wish to do harm to our community and who are watching your actions of noncompliance.
