We want to inform our parents and guardians that our 3rd grade students will be taking the Ohio State Test in ELA - English Language Arts on October 29th and 30th. As we strive to create the best testing environment for our students, we kindly ask that you avoid scheduling any appointments for your child on these dates. Research shows that students perform better when taking the test on the designated testing day, rather than during a make-up session.
We appreciate your support in ensuring our students are well-prepared and ready to perform their best on these important assessments.
Great news! You can now schedule your child's fall conference online. A link was sent to you via text message and email through Parent Square. If you haven’t received it or are having trouble accessing the scheduling system, please contact the office at 330-552-5252, and we'll be happy to assist you. The teachers look forward to connecting with you soon!

If the weather cooperates, we will all (K-5) parade outdoors and all are welcome to watch! Please remember that no costumes should feature blood, guts, or gore. Masks should not prohibit a student’s ability to see clearly. Teachers may ask for those to be removed if they are visually imparing or too gruesome. NO WEAPONS of any kind are permitted at school. No makeup should be worn to school, but may be put on at 1:30, room parents will help students if needed. Costumes should not be worn to school.
Halloween Safety Tips
- Make sure your child’s costume is bright and reflective. It should fit well and be short enough to prevent tripping.
- Ensure costumes, wigs, and accessories carry a label indicating they are flame-resistant.
- Consider painting your child’s face instead of using a mask that can block peripheral vision.
- Feed your family a good meal prior to Halloween parties or trick-or-treating to discourage your kids from filling up on candy.
- If your kids are trick-or-treating in an area without sidewalks, walk on the edge of the road facing traffic.
- For evening trick-or-treating, add reflective tape to costumes and trick-or-treat bags for greater visibility. All kids or their parents should have a flashlight. Glow sticks are also great.
- After trick-or-treating, sort and check your kids’ goodies. Though tampering is rare, closely examine all treats – and throw away any spoiled, unwrapped, or suspicious items.

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.
