The staff and students of the Upper Nyack Elementary School would like to invite you to join us on Friday, June 2nd for our annual Field Day. (Rain Date - Monday, June 5) We ask that you send your child to school that day wearing their designated team color which will be communicated by teachers when the date approaches. You are invited to come and watch your child compete in events at the upper field behind the school.

The schedule is as follows:

• 9:00 AM Opening Ceremonies & Parade
• 9:30 - 11:00 AM Events for students in Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grades
• 11:15 - 12:00 PM Lunch for grades K, 1, and 2
• 12:05 - 12:50 PM Lunch for grades 3, 4, and 5
• 1:00 - 2:45 PM Events for students in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades

PLEASE CLICK HERE FOR A LETTER REGARDING FIELD DAY.

Due to space limitations, we will only be able to accommodate 2 people per student at these events. Soon, you'll be receiving two tickets to your child's event in backpack mail. We are sorry that we cannot accommodate more people, but space simply will not allow us to exceed two tickets per student.

As we know that sometimes grandparents and other loved ones wish to see the ceremony, we are working hard to make arrangements to livestream the event. More info to come soon.

Our technology department will be collecting student Chromebooks at the end of the year. For your future planning, on Friday, June 16th - Students will stop taking home Chromebooks so that they can be collected the following week.
