NJHS
On October 18, 2024, Field Middle School proudly inducted 21 students into its National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) and installed four new officers as well. Mrs. Goldman presided over the ceremony, continuing the school's tradition of recognizing exceptional middle school students.
The NJHS is more than just an honor roll—it celebrates students who excel in the pillars of scholarship, service, leadership, character, and citizenship. These core values have defined the organization since its founding in 1929.
Congratulations to the new inductees for their outstanding achievements and commitment to excellence!

Attention Sixth Grade Parents:
This letter is to inform you of the immunization requirements for (Tetanus, Diphtheria and Pertussis), as a booster to the initial series of required doses. Ohio is requiring the Tdap vaccine, as opposed to Td, to protect against Pertussis (whooping cough). In addition to the Tdap, your child is also required to receive the Meningococcal vaccine prior to the entry into Grade 7. The Meningococcal vaccine prevents bacteria that is commonly spread from person to person, especially in teens and young adults. These bacteria can cause meningitis, which is an infection of the fluid and lining surrounding the brain and spinal cord; it can also enter the bloodstream, causing sepsis. Please contact your health care provider to schedule an appointment to receive the vaccines your child will need for the next year. For a complete list of immunization requirements for school-age children in the State of Ohio, please go to: www.odh.ohio.gov/odhPrograms/dis/Immunization/imunchsc.aspx REQUIRED 7th Grade shots (2 shots): · Tdap (Tetanus, Diphtheria and Pertussis) · Meningococcal vaccine
