Needs Assessment

Fields Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration

We are excited to announce that in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, we will be exploring the rich history and culture of the Hispanic community. Throughout this month, our students will be learning about the significant contributions made by famous Hispanic figures in history. From artists and scientists to activists and leaders, we will highlight the diverse talents and legacies that have shaped our world.

This will be a wonderful opportunity for students to appreciate and celebrate the vibrant culture and heritage of the Hispanic community. We encourage you to engage with your child at home by discussing what they are learning and sharing your own experiences or stories. We will post pictures of our learning on Class Dojo & our Smore. We will also highlight all of the beautiful cultures represenetd at Fields throughout the year.

A Message from the Coaches for Fall Fest

Our coaches need help on October 17 and 18th to prepare the walls in the gym for the beautiful decorations for Fall Fest. Parents can come during the day or after school to assist. Parents who would like to volunteer need an updated Fast Pass. Please contact Coach Hamilton if you would like to help.
