Where and how do my students change after field day?
Students will need to bring a towel and a change of clothes to school on field day. You will need to monitor students while allowing them to change in the bathroom. Work with a partner teacher and one teacher stays at the bathrooms to monitor the students changing and the other stays in the classroom watching the other students. Or you can take your class to the bathroom and monitor your class as they change.

Your class will have the opportunity to play games on field day in the classroom. Teachers will need to plan accordingly. Some examples are electronics, wii or xbox, play dough, board games, manipulatives, fun science experiments, fun art projects. Coach Wheeler will not be providing games for your class.

You will receive a schedule and map the week of field day. You will use the map as a guide of where to start and which way to rotate. You will hear an air horn when it is time to rotate.
What do I need to bring for field day?
Bring a towel (you may want to bring a few extra,) and a change of clothes. Remember to put your students towels in your lunch tub and place it against the wall by the outdoor classroom.
How will my class watch the movie?
You will access the movie at your designated time (8:30 or 12:30) through the broadcasting system in the library.
What if I have a student that can NOT participate or must miss stations?
If you have a student that did not bring their waiver back or can not participate due to medical, behavior, etc. reasons, the student will still travel with you and your class but will sit to the side.
What if a student gets hurt?
Please carry a bag with you on field day with band aids, nurse passes, pen, field day sign out sheet. If a student gets hurt with a minor cut or injury and you can put a band aid on it please take care of it yourself. We will have a nurses station set up outside at a table in the outdoor classroom. We are hoping to take care of most incidents outside so the students do not track water in the building. If it is a serious injury the student will be taken inside to the nurses office. Please check your inventory of band aids and first aide supplies and let Nurse Camilli know if you need anything.
