Simple Dismissal Distribution
We have completed a majority of our Simple Dismissal number distribution to our new Field families. If you have not retrieved your child's number (sibling sets) please report to the front office to pick up your children's number. TK/Kinder families should report to your child's homeroom teacher to retrieve your number.
Starting on Monday, August 26th all students will remain in their classroom and parents will report to either the TK/Kinder walking gate to have your number entered into the system or drive through the carline and have your child's number entered there. Younger students from the B and C Building are escorted to their respective locations for pick up. Older students from the A Building are dismissed to their respective locations. Younger students that attend an afterschool program are picked up by their after school program coordinators. Please follow their pick up requirements for each respective after school program. You will not need to show your Simple Dismissal number in the after school program.
Enrollment Count
UPDATE: We are halfway through our enrollment count as required by the district to determine our class sizes and to determine the number of teachers assigned to our school site. This period of time also gives us time to determine students that have not returned to our school for this school year and accept students that are waitlisted for various grade levels. Thank you for your patience during this time.
During our enrollment count period every student on campus is on a "stay put" status to determine total class sizes based on students that enter our doors the first day/week of school and students that need to be dropped from our system due to a "no show" status the first week of school. All email requests have been documented and requests will be considered after our enrollment period ends.
If you have attempted to contact me via email and I have not responded please utilize another method of contact as I average 100+ emails on a daily basis as the school year starts (from teachers, students, parents, district, community members and spam). The school's phone number is 626-396-5840 and a message can be taken by our wonderful front office staff in order to assist you with your concern(s) and/or question(s). If your concern/question is in reference to your child's teacher, please make sure to reach out to the teacher first so that they have the opportunity to resolve the concern/problem. Thank you!!
Eugene Field Elementary School- Reminders
REMINDERS:
Reminder #1:
The front semi-circle drive is for carline drop-off and pick-up only. This area will not have adult supervision or volunteers in the morning for drop-off. The east side TK/Kinder Gate is for walking students only. The parking lot on the east side of our campus is for teachers/staff only. Please refer to the map of the area HERE.
DO NOT PARK YOUR CAR IN THE DESIGNATED CARLINE IN THE SEMI-CIRCLE AND THEN PROCEED TO LEAVE YOUR VEHICLE IN ORDER TO DROP OFF OR PICK UP YOUR STUDENT(S) FROM SCHOOL. THIS IS A DRIVE THROUGH NOT A PARKING LOCATION. THANK YOU!
Reminder #2:
Doors/gates will open at 8:25am and all students should report to the multi-purpose room (MPR)/cafeteria and surrounding areas until 8:35am. The first bell is at 8:40am and the final bell is at 8:45am.
At 8:45am (final bell) all teachers will have their students line up on their respective playgrounds.
NEW: Please let us know if we offered extended care from 8am-8:25am if you would take advantage of this drop off period HERE
Reminder #3:
Simple Dismissal numbers have been issued to a majority of our students on campus.
Great job TK/Kinder/New Students at Field! You will now remain in your classrooms to wait to be dismissed based on whether you should report to the carline or TK/Kinder walking gate. Parents that have not picked up your child's Simple Dismissal number please report to the front office (sibling sets) to retrieve your number. TK/Kinder parents please see your child's homeroom teacher for your Simple Dismissal number.
Carline Pick-up (Front Semi-Circle)- Please place your parent number placard in the right passenger window for pick-up.
Walkers (TK/Kinder Gate)- Please have your parent number for pick up as you request your child after school.
Independent walkers- Please complete this form HERE in order to designate your child as an independent walker for the school year.
Afterschool Programming- Students will be released by their teacher based on completion of this form HERE.
Back to School Night
We will welcome our TK-5th grade families this coming Wednesday, August 28th for our Back to School Event. The childcare service hosted by PTA & LEARNs is now closed. This is a non-student event. Chairs will be placed outside of the teachers doors to ensure students are not in the classrooms as the teachers present their materials. Due to our limited parking we will host two sessions for the evening to ensure we have enough locations for families to park. We are encouraging our TK-2nd grade families to join us from 5:30pm-6:10pm and our 3rd-5th grade families to join us from 6:20pm-7pm. This timeframe will allow for a 10 minute transition period for TK-2nd grade families to leave and allow 3rd-5th grade families to park and join their child's classrooms. Sibling sets can choose either time slot that works best for your family. Further instructions will be shared with the community before this event.
This event is an opportunity for parents to get an overview of the materials and responsibilities your child will have during this school year. Specific concerns and issues should be privately addressed with the teacher during a parent/teacher conference to ensure the teacher is able to address classroom procedures and information for the entire classroom. Our parent/teacher conference day is scheduled for Friday, October 11th which is another opportunity for you to meet with your child's teacher. Again, please do not monopolize the time that is set aside for the teacher(s) to explain information that is important for all students. Thank you!
