Field Flash
August 20, 2021
Dear Field Parents and Guardians,
Wow! We are off to a fantastic start with all of our Field students back here in person! Thank you for your partnership as we settle in to our new routines. A few important reminders:
- Arrival: as we settle in, please remember our kiss and go areas on Elmore and Wisner do not allow for unattended cars. Please do remain in your car as your child(ren) exit the car.
- Bus: we take attendance at dismissal as we load the bus. It is so important that we know in advance if your child is not riding the bus. Please do call the main office as early in the day as possible and speak with Ruth or Jillian. This helps us ensure a smooth bus dismissal. Our buses will leave a bit later for the next few days as we ensure all students are accounted for when we load the buses.
- Heath: please do keep your child home if they are ill. This means that students may be absent from school - and that's okay! If your child is sick, s/he needs to rest and recover. If your child tests positive for COVID-19, please call the health office at Field and we can share information for remote learning. The district's plan for remote learning was included in the complete fall in-person learning plan shared earlier this month by Dr. Olson.
- Lunch: as I've shared in previous emails, we are planning to eat lunch outside as much as possible since students are unmasked during this time. Students are welcome to bring a small towel to sit on in the grass. We will eat in the gyms and MPR when we are inside. We had our first outdoor lunch today and it went very smoothly!
Again, thank you for your support as we begin this new year together! Have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Courtney Goodman
Principal
