Field Park Principal's Update
May 1st, 2020
Hello Field Park Families,
I hope that you're all enjoying the weather, getting outside, and relaxing! Just a few updates for this week:
FIELD PARK UPDATES:
SNEAK PEEK: Day of Kindness, Monday, 5/4!!!
Be on the lookout, as well, for some opportunities to get your kiddos engaged in fundraising, charitable donations, and socially-distant reach-outs to provide acts of service in our local communities!
LaGrange Area Pet Parade
For anyone interested in joining the D101 "virtual float" in the beloved LaGrange area Pet Parade, please:
- snap a photo of your family/kids with your favorite pets
- email the photo to Lisa Grublesky at lgrublesky@d101.org by Monday, 5/4
We hope to "see" you in the Pet Parade!
REMINDER: Class Lists for Upcoming School Year
This is the time of year when we begin the process of creating class lists for the upcoming school year. The following parameters will guide class placement:
- All classes at all grade levels will have children representing a broad range of academic abilities and backgrounds.
- Class placement will be made based upon the development of the whole child --academically, socially and behaviorally.
Parents who wish to make a statement describing their child’s academic, social and/or behavioral needs may do so in writing (aburger@d101.org). These comments, focused on the child’s learning style, will then be given consideration as a part of the process.
As I cannot accept requests for specific teachers, comments should not limit the child’s placement to a single option.
Please email me NO LATER THAN Friday, May 15th.
