Field Flash

Dear Field Parents and Guardians,

We hope you have had a nice week. It was so nice to see so many of you last night at our Open House! As a reminder, we do not have school on Monday. A few important reminders are listed below:

• Please register your children for next year. The deadline is quickly approaching in March. Registration only takes a few minutes and you can pay the school fees at a later date. Thank you!
• Please complete the 5Essentials survey for Field. Your parent voice matters! We need 20% participation in order to receive the results from the parent survey. Click here to complete it.

• Our school calendar for this year has not changed after the snow/cold days. Please do look ahead to February and March, as we do have a few days off of school in those months.

• The school calendar for next school year (2024-2025) is published on the District website: https://www.d64.org/about/calendar-overview. Please be sure to review it prior to making summer plans. Students first day of school is August 14th.
  

Have a wonderful weekend!

Sincerely,

Dr. Courtney Goodman

Principal

Chess-Ed is excited to return to Field School to provide lunchtime chess instruction this

Winter. The 9-week program runs from 03/04/2024 to 05/13/24 and takes place on

Mondays from 11:35 am to 12:30 pm (during lunch). The program is open to students in

all grades and of all chess abilities. Professional instruction will include the basics for beginner and novice players and build with opening theory, middle game planning, and end game combinations for continuing and advanced students. Playing chess improves memory, uses analytical and critical thinking skills, teaches problem solving, responsibility, sportsmanship, social skills and more! The

benefits of chess last a lifetime!

To register, please go to https://2023-2024fieldchess.eventbee.com. Register by

02/19/24 to take advantage of lowest available fee. For more information about the

your CHESS ENTHUSIAST this Spring!
