Procedures

Drop-Off and Pick-Up

Car Loop - Car lop traffic follows along the north side (right side when facing the school) of the school and goes around the staff parking area.  Please pull all of the way around to the signs that indicate the drop off zone.  Please say your goodbye's in the car and have your student(s) ready to immediately disembark your vehicle.  This allows for the line of traffic to flow quickly.

Front Parking Lot - The front parking lot is for parking and walking your student across the lot to and from the school.

Attendance

Since school attendance is compulsory, we are mandated to keep track of student attendance.  Clearly, it is imperative to have your child at school.  It is also important to have them to school on time.  The teacher gets into their routine first thing in the morning.  When students arrive late, the teacher has to stop teaching to get that student started in their day.

When a student reaches 10 unexcused absences, we have to send a letter to the parents, as well as, the county prosecutor.  If the attendance of the student does not improve, the parent will have to appear in court.

Late Arrival

If your student arrives late, they must check-in at the school office.

Recess Policy

At Field Elementary School our students go outside for recess twice a day unless it is raining or if the wind chill is below 15 degrees Fahrenheit.  Children are expected to go outside for recess unless there is a note from a doctor.  Children should be dressed appropriately for winter recess, including mittens or gloves, boots, scarves, snow clothes, etc.

Ways to Help
