SCHOOL-WIDE INFORMATION FOR THIS WEEK
Last Communication For the School Year
Families, This will be the last weekly update for the school year. Look for our Back to School Newsletter sent in mid August with all the important news and dates you will need to know to be ready for school. Thank you for your partnership this year! We hope you have a wonderful summer.
Field Day
Students will be able to participate in Field Day onMonday, June 24th. Field Day is a chance for students to engage in fun and safe activities as a celebration for all their effort and hard work over the course of the year.
Schedule
Intermediate classrooms (3, 4, and 5):Students will engage in Field Day from 9:45-11:15.
Primary classrooms (K, 1, and 2):Students will engage in Field Day from 1:45-3:15.
Items to Bring
Students may get wet! They can wear a swimsuit under their clothes. No stomachs can show. Please make sure to have your child wear closed-toed shoes. All students may also bring a towel.
Intermediate Students:They can bring (but do not have to bring) a change of clothes and shows. We are going to set up a sign up for classes to change between the end of field day and lunch and provide supervision proximal to changing areas that will be in the third grade foyer, the gym bathrooms, within the gym with changing areas we are going to create, and in the portable restrooms. More details to come. Within the Panther Pride, we will only communicate that students need a towel and then as a teacher, you can choose if you want your students to change. If so, you will need to share the details with your families.
Primary Students:They will go home soon after field day, so they just need a towel. Even if you send them with a change of clothes, they will not have time to change before packing up to go home.
