Field Flash
May 3, 2021
Dear Field Parents and Guardians,
We hope that you have had a nice week - what wacky weather! As a reminder, there is no school on Monday, May 3rd as this is the final remote learning planning day for staff.
Incoming Kindergarten Orientation
If you have an incoming kindergartener or have a neighbor with a soon-to-be Field kindergarten student, we are hosting a virtual Kindergarten Orientation on Thursday, May 6th at 6pm. The Zoom link will be emailed to registered families on May 3rd. We'll share information about Field, kindergarten, and important upcoming dates and information.
Mask Wearing, Social Distance, Lanyards, Taking your Child's Temperature
- It is important for us to remain vigilant in our mask wearing, social distancing, and the daily self-certification/lanyards.
- Please review proper mask wearing with your child(ren), ensuring they know and understand the importance of keeping the mask over their nose and mouth. Also, please be sure masks remain on (children and adults) during arrival and dismissal.
- Please also maintain social distance during arrival and dismissal.
- Each morning, we depend on our parents to self-certify their children's health. This means taking your child's temperature and reviewing the checklist of COVID-19 symptoms. The lanyard is the signal to us that you've done this health check. Thank you for your diligence with this important task.
- We appreciate your continued support!
Attendance
- As a reminder, it will be important to attend in-person if that's what you've selected. If your child is ill, please do continue to have them remain home and call the office. If you leave a voicemail, please leave details about your child's absence or illness symptoms. This information will help us determine whether your child is absent, should log on remotely, and/or may need to quarantine. We'll help guide you through the next steps, including access to remote instruction when necessary. Detailed voicemails help us move through this process more quickly. Again, most of the time, our in-person students will be learning in-person unless the absence is COVID-related.
We hope that you and your family have a wonderful weekend!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Courtney Goodman
Principal
Park Ridge-Niles School District 64’s mission is as follows:

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 review arrival and dismissal information below.
- Please be sure students bring their school device (ipad or chromebook) with them to school FULLY CHARGED.
- Students should wear their lanyards each day to signal their health has been verified by an adult. New in-person students will receive their lanyards on their first day of in-person attendance.
- Please be sure that if your child is in 2nd/5th/3rd Lehr/Balogi they are bringing their beach towel in a labeled bag. They can leave the labeled bag/towel at school during the week, taking it home on Fridays for laundering. The labeled bag helps us stay organized - thank you!
