Dear Field Parents and Guardians,
We hope you have had a nice week!
Please mark your calendar for our Open House on February 8th from 6-7:30pm. As it has been many years since we hosted this event, I wanted to share a bit more about the event and its purpose.
- Families (parents and students) are invited to stop by at anytime between 6-7:30pm, and stay for as long or as little as you'd like.
- The purpose of the event is for students to showcase their learning; you'll visit your children's classrooms to see some of what they've learned this year.
- Please note you'll enter the building through the main entrance at Door 1, which will be unlocked for the event. You can exit through any door.
- While our teachers and staff will be present in the building that evening, please note this event is not intended to be a parent-teacher conference opportunity. We'll have parent-teacher conferences in March, or you are always welcome to reach out directly to teachers to schedule a conversation.
Now that the weather has changed, please be sure that they bring the appropriate winter weather gear (snow pants, boots, warm coats, etc), as we do go outside for recess most days. Please label items with your child's first and last name. in terms of winter weather, we are outside when the "feels like" temperature is 10 degrees or warmer. We look at air temperature and wind chill to determine the "feels like" temperature. We also ask children to wear all the layers their grown-ups sent them to school with that day.
A few reminders:
Please remember our drop-off areas on Elmore and Wisner are "kiss and go" in the morning. It is very important that you pull up, drop your child off, and drive away. If you'd like to wait and watch your child enter the building, please be sure you park away from these area. Your car shouldn't be present in these spots in the morning for more than a minute. Thank you for your help with this!
Recess is most often outdoors - please ensure your children are dressed for the weather.
Children should either bring their water bottle to lunch - or pack a separate drink for the lunchtime. Students are able to go to the water fountain during lunch too, but we do not have extra cups or water bottles for students.
- Please no dogs at drop off or pick up! Thank you!
Have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Dr. Courtney Goodman
