What you need to know:

1. Field Day is a fun-filled day for all students and staff. Your child/children will be very active throughout the day and you should take into consideration sending your child/children with a few essential items.

• Each child should have a water bottle with his/her name taped onto it.
• Please provide sunscreen to avoid sunburns and skin damage. Applying sunscreen prior to the arrival of school is a great idea.
• Provide your child/children with tick repellant to ensure safety.
• All students should remember to bring a beach towel to sit on.
• Send your child in light colored clothing if it is a warm day.
• All students need sneakers to participate in field day.
• Make sure that your child/children have an adequate snack to eat.

2. A variety of water activities will be incorporated into this year’s field day. This will be highly dependant on the weather conditions on that specific day. If the weather permits, please send your child/children with an extra shirt to change into. All water activities will take place during the second half of the day.
