Dear Suffield Family,
Thank you all for your wonderful contributions to support those in need from Suffield. We had an amazing food drive. Our 3rd graders won the contest with an average of 36 cans/student! The food shelf is so grateful for our contributions.
Those who earned The Limo Lunch from our Fall Fundraiser ventured out today! We had a great time seat dancing and riding the limo coaster down the hills by the reservoir. The students were excellent and even received special words of praise from patrons at Pizza Hut. I'd expect nothing less from our awesome students!
As we move into next week, please remember that we do not have school Thursday-Monday. We will resume school on Tuesday, December 3rd. If you're heading out early for Thanksgiving, please make sure that you request a vacation form from Mrs. Hurd.
Finally, if you are dropping off students in the morning, drop off is on the right side of the building. DO NOT drop off students in the parking lot area. Buses and car drop off must be in separate areas to ensure the safety of students.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Mrs. Bookman
Principal
Plan to join the community at Wingfoot Park on Wednesday, December 11th for a community sing along, cookies, hot cocoa, crafts, Santa, and a special performance by our 5th grade. The event begins at 6:00pm and concludes at 7:30 in the Pine Tree Shelter Pavilion. We hope that you and your family will stop out for some Holiday Fun!
Join the 2nd and 4th Graders for a night of Holiday music and cheer! Thursday, December 19th at 6:00 pm 2nd Graders will be performing The Littlest Christmas Tree, a story about discovering the meaning of Christmas. Following their performance, at 7:00 pm, 4th Grade students will bring the spirit of the season to life with Christmas at the Movies!
The results are in! Through the generous donations from our parents, teachers, and staff, Suffield Elementary was able to supply the local Food Shelf with 1,208 cans of food, along with $2,929 in cash and checks to help those in need in our community. The Randolph Suffield Food Shelf and Suffield CARES thank you all for your contributions. As you know, the grade that brought in the most donations will get a Pizza Party sponsored by our PTA. Congrats to our winners, the 3rd graders! Enjoy your pizza!
Santa Shop will be back for the 2024 Holiday Season. We need volunteers to help us run the shop! Santa Shop will take place the week of December 9th and set up will be on the Friday, December 6th. On the sign up below, you will find the dates and times slots that we need volunteers. We have listed the classes that will shop during these times so that you can volunteer during your student’s time to shop.
We are also in need of volunteers to help set up and clean up. These are very important jobs, so please consider volunteering for those times as well. Those times are listed as well.

Identification of Children with Disabilities
The Field Local School district is in the process of locating, evaluating, and identifying children from birth to age 21, residing in the district, who may be entitled to a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE), including special education and related aids and services, pursuant to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA) or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504).
Children eligible for FAPE under the IDEA are those with disabilities such as Autism,
Multiple Disabilities, Deaf-Blindness, Hearing Impairment, Visual Impairment, Speech or Language Impairment, Orthopedic Impairment, Emotional Disturbance, Intellectual Impairment, Traumatic Brain Injury or Specific Learning Disability.
Children eligible for FAPE under Section 504 include children who have a physical or

If you know of a child who may have a disability or a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits a major life activity, or if you would simply like additional information, please contact Megan Longfellow, Director of Special Services at (330) 673-2659 or email her at megan.longfellow@fieldlocalschools.org
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.
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! Invite your friends and family to save receipts! Let’s see if we can collect more than last year! Click here to see what brands earn 5% community cashback.
