All staff and students are encouraged to wear ORANGE on Monday, March 3rd, to demonstrate their support for disability inclusion. Inclusion means sharing experiences and embracing each other's differences. Let’s show our support by wearing orange and making our school a welcoming place for everyone. Thank you for being part of this important day and for being so supportive in promoting an inclusive environment.
History of the Event
Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month's origins date back to 1987, when President Ronald Reagan officially declared the observance. Since then, organizations, advocates, and communities have come together annually to promote understanding, inclusion, and the rights of individuals with developmental disabilities, aiming for a more inclusive society.
These students have earned the honor of being named PMC Members and Super Members for the month of February. They've demonstrated that they know their math facts! Mastering math facts helps students with math throughout their elementary, middle, and high school years. Make it a goal to help your child master their facts!

Exciting News: Live Auctions Now Open to the Public!
This year, we’re trying something a little different—we’re opening our live auctions to the general public ahead of the Big Red Dinner Event!
For the first time, you’ll have the opportunity to place bids before the event. Online bidding will remain open until the start of the Big Red Dinner, at which point we’ll kick off the live auction with the highest online bid.
This is a great chance to get involved and support our cause, even if you can’t attend the event in person. Stay tuned for more Auction items to be added.
Thank you for your continued support, and let’s make this year’s auction the biggest one yet!
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.

The Fifth-grade students at Brimfield Elementary and Suffield Elementary will have the opportunity to attend camp at Camp Muskingum in Carrollton, Ohio from May 21 – May 23, 2025. The cost of the 2025 outdoor education program is approximately $185 per student. Parents and students should begin planning on this expense at this time.
To reserve your child’s spot at camp, a deposit of $55.00 will be due before March 1st. Two additional payments of $65 are due before April 1st and May 1st.
Mark your calendars...the mobile dentist will be here on April 10th! Registration forms went home with your student this week. If you need an additional form, please contact the office. You can also register online by clicking here.
Please take advantage of this opportunity to have your child's dental health assessed by a professional right here at school. We believe that by promoting good dental hygiene habits early on, we can set our children up for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
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.
