Enjoy your weekend!

Field Local Schools Renewal November 7, 2023- Know The Facts!
Field Schools has placed two issues on the November 7 ballot. The first is a 10.75 mill operating issue and 1 mill for permanent improvements. The second is a 7.3 mill operating issue. These issues were last passed in May of 2019 and are up for renewal. A levy renewal does not include any new millage.
Operating money pays for all aspects of the district. It pays for teachers, custodians, bus drivers, cafeteria staff, tutors, computers, textbooks, supplies, fuel, and food. That is not a complete list, but just part of what operating money pays for. The renewal of the operating issues will allow the continuation of district services and programs at current levels.
Permanent Improvement money is used for physical items / improvements with a lifespan of 5 years or more. Funds generated from passage of the Permanent Improvement levy five years ago were used to rebuild the parking lot on the main campus and fund building and grounds repairs and improvements. Going forward, permanent improvement money will be used to maintain and improve existing buildings, grounds and facilities.
Playground Reminder, remember to bundle up and wear coats, hats, gloves to school!

COUNSELOR'S CORNER!
Hello Brimfield Families!
Having open conversations with your students about cell phone safety is a crucial conversation to have with your student! Setting expectations and boundaries is important for students so they know what is safe for them, what is not safe and so they know they can share if they have a problem. The more you have an open dialogue with your students about technology, the more they will be willing to confide in you and come to you if there is a problem. Here are some tips for parents to manage their child's cell phone:
Set clear rules and boundaries: It's important to establish clear rules and boundaries with your child about their cell phone use. This includes setting limits on screen time, establishing guidelines for appropriate usage, and discussing the consequences for breaking the rules.
Monitor their activity: Keep an eye on your child's cell phone activity, who they are texting or who is texting them, the apps they use and the websites they visit. There are parental control apps and software that can help you monitor your child's online activity.
Have an open dialogue: Encourage your child to talk to you about their cell phone use and any concerns they may have. Keep the lines of communication open and non-judgmental.
Set a good example: Children often model their behavior after their parents, so it's important to model responsible cell phone use. Avoid using your phone excessively or in inappropriate situations.
Consider using parental controls: Parental controls can help limit access to certain apps or websites, restrict screen time, and set bedtimes for the device.
Educate your child about online safety: Teach your child about the importance of online safety, including how to avoid cyberbullying, protect personal information, and stay safe while using social media.
Encourage other activities: Encourage your child to engage in other activities, such as reading, outdoor play, or spending time with friends and family, to reduce their reliance on their cell phone.

PBIS CORNER
What is PBIS?
Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports is an important part of the school environment to encourage positive behavior. There are clear expectations throughout the school that are taught consistently throughout the year. The four expectations promoted at Field Local Schools are:
Safe
Outstanding
Accountable
Respectful
When students do not respond to teaching of the building or classroom expectations, we will view it as an opportunity for re-teaching, not just negative consequences. Students still receive consequences for negative behavior. The goal of the consequence is to teach students so they will not repeat the negative behavior.
