Today is Field Day! Just a few reminders:
*Please have your child bring a water bottle.
*Your child may wish to wear a hat or sunglasses.
*You may want to apply sunscreen or bug spray to your child. Please note: Staff is not permitted to apply sunscreen or bug spray to your child.
*Activities are heavy on the water theme. Please send your child with a towel and a change of clothes inside a bag that they can put their wet clothes in.
*If you are coming to pick up your child early, please be patient. Students will be outside so it might take a few extra minutes to get them ready to leave the building.
*Lastly, we always recommend that your child's items are labeled with their name in case they get mixed up or misplaced.
