Field Day - Volunteers Needed! |
|
Consider volunteering for
Field Day!
May 27, 2022
What is Field Day? A day where students participate in relay games at various stations as a team. A day of friendly competition and loads of fun!
What does my child wear? Each child is assigned a 'team color'. They should wear a shirt representing their team color, tennis shoes, and shorts. Don't worry - they will know their team color before Field Day!
How are the teams created? Students are randomly given team color assignments.
What does a volunteer do? We love our volunteers and appreciate your help! Volunteers are needed to facilitate each station, run score cards to be tallied, walk with students to restrooms, etc.
Should I apply sunscreen and bug spray? Yes! Parents should apply sunscreen and/or bug spray on their child prior to school drop off. Keep in mind that volunteers and teachers are not able to apply these products.
Will there be a water and first aid station? Absolutely!
Are prizes awarded? No prizes but....bragging rights! Remember, Field Day is a day of friendly competition!

We are very excited about Field Day scheduled for May 27, 2022!
Don't forget it's an 11:30am Dismissal!
A special treat is in store for our students! The Kona-Ice truck will be on campus serving their famous shaved ice! For more information about ingredients and nutrition, click HERE.

As a reminder, in order to minimize spread to others, if your child is sick or complaining of not feeling well, please keep them home monitor for illness and make sure they are feeling well before sending them back to school. PLEASE DO NOT MEDICATE YOUR CHILD WITH AN OVER THE COUNTER MEDICATION TO MASK THEIR SYMPTOMS/FEVER SO THAT YOU CAN SEND THEM TO SCHOOL. SENDING YOUR CHILD TO SCHOOL IN THIS CONDITION EXPOSES OTHERS TO THEIR ILLNESS. Your child must be 24 hours fever/vomit/diarrhea free without taking any over the counter medication before they can return to school. And, if their symptoms warrant a doctor's visit, please have them evaluated by a healthcare provider with a note if applicable prior to returning to school. If your child has a sibling in the school, we ask that you keep everyone home until the sick child has a diagnosis for their symptoms OR has been medically cleared. Household contact is considered continuous transmission; this is an extra layer in place to help prevent the spread of illness to other students while waiting for a diagnosis for your sick child.
