Field Flash
November 9, 2020
Dear Field Parents and Guardians,
We hope you have had a good week. I'd like to start with two important and very different reminders.
1. If you'd like to adjust your child's in-person or hybrid plans for the start of trimester two, please go to the Parent Portal of PowerSchool to complete that form. In addition, as you may have read in Dr. Olson's November 4th update, if at a later date you'd like to adjust your child's attendance to hybrid or remote, please email or call me directly. Additionally, I'd like to remind you of our new district COVID dashboard (click here).
2. We are working SO hard to WIN the Halloween Hustle. My understanding is Carpenter has been the winner for the last few years. Please take a moment to register TODAY. http://www.district64elf.org/halloween-hustle.html.
A few additional reminders as we move closer to Thanksgiving:
1. Our next Student Materials Pick up for fully remote students will be Wednesday, November 18th from 7:30-8:45 a.m. Teachers will let you know if you have items to pick up. As always, if you aren't able to make that morning, you are welcome to have a friend or neighbor pick up the items. We'll continue these every 2 weeks for our remote students, so after this date, we'll have another in December.
2. If your child has a school library book, please either send them to be returned with your child or you can drop them off in the main office. Students can continue to request books for check out as well.
Have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Courtney Goodman
Principal
Park Ridge-Niles School District 64’s mission is as follows:
Inspire every child to discover, learn, achieve, and care.
In-person learning reminders
- Our 3 Ws: wear a mask, watch your distance, and wash your hands.
- Please have children wear a mask and bring an extra in their backpack.
- Please be sure students bring their school device (ipad or chromebook) with them to school FULLY CHARGED.

Join the PTO
Field PTO membership is now open!
The Field PTO continues to support Field staff and students even with the unusual start of the 2020-'21 school year. Membership helps fund a variety of PTO activities from electronic books, staff appreciation events, lanyards for masks to the operational costs of the PTO. We anticipate a decrease in overall funds raised this year, so your membership is critical this year!
In addition to supporting PTO activities, your $15 membership fee includes access to the online directory on AtoZ Connect. If you become a member in October, you can also receive a free Field CARES yard sign!
The District 64 ELF Halloween Hustle 3k
Register today: http://www.district64elf.org/halloween-hustle.html.
THE COURSE
3k. That’s all we ask. Run, walk, bike, skate, scooter, crawl 3k. How you “run” the race is up to you! You design the course, throw on a costume, grab your family and maybe a friend or two, and off you go! To make it more fun, use an app like Runkeeper or Map My Run to keep track of how far you have gone. Once, you completed your 3k, take a screenshot of the course and post it on our Facebook or Twitter pages. The participant with the most creative route takes home a special prize!
THE COSTUMES
That’s right. Dust off those Batman masks, fairy wings, gorilla suits, and any inflatable T-Rex costumes you have hanging in your closet, because the participant with the best costume will win a fabulous gift card to one of Park Ridge’s local establishments! Take a pic of yourself or your group and submit your entry to our Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram pages.
THE COMPETITION
You know it. Battle of the D64 schools is back. Who is going to win the coveted prize of the ELF Trophy and bragging rights for the year? Will Carpenter take the lead for the 3rd year in a row, or will a new victor be crowned? It’s all up to you!! The D64 school with the highest percentage of participation wins! So, register TODAY!
THE COMMITMENT
So, how do you commit to this fun event? You register! Cost of participation is: $30 for adults (18 and over), $20 for kids (ages 5 through 18) and $5 for Tiny Tikes (ages 5 and under). Registration opens October 2nd and will end on November 8th. Participants can “race” anytime between October 24th through November 8th. Submissions of routes and costumes pics are due no later than November 8th. All adult and kid participants will receive a stunning D64 2020 ELF Halloween Hustle t-shirt. All Tiny Tikes will receive a special medal. Arrangements will be made for t-shirts, medals, and prize distributions after November 8th.
***if you do not wish your photo submissions to be posted on social media, please email your costume or route pics to district64elf@gmail.com, put 2020 Hustle in the subject line.
