Reminder: Driving/Parking for Dismissal (Repeated from 9/20 Update)
- Howard St. is one-way during arrival/dismissal, heading north. Our friends at Music Makers have sent a reminder to their parents, as well, to help direct this flow of traffic.
- Please pull all the way forward on Howard in the pick-up line to make space for others.
- Please do not use block of 42nd in front of the church as a part of the pick-up line; this delays traffic in exiting the pick-up.
- Please do not block the driveway to the staff parking lot in picking up your child, as we have families who actively use our handicapped spot located within the parking lot.
- We have noticed many students darting across the street between parked cars on Howard, north of 42nd, to get to a parked car; please reinforce that all students need to safely cross in the crosswalk, with adult crossing guard supervision, even if you are present or awaiting in the car.
- No Drop-Offs/Pick-Ups on Hillgrove: Please do not slow and stop your car to drop-off/pick-up your child on Hillgrove. This slows school and Village traffic and, with all of the bustle of those times and the active construction site, creates a dangerous situation for our kids.
Thank you for your help in keeping all of our students safe, especially as construction, landscaping, etc. make our streets more chaotic.
Fundraising Goal: We're Getting There!
Field Park's Monthly Book Focus
For September, every class read the book I Walk with Vanessa by Kerascoet and discussed this sweet story's theme of kindness for all.
Read it at home - you won't be disappointed!

Yoga for Girls!
I'll be making some cameo appearances in yoga classes on Tuesdays, as well - good for the body and good for the brain!
