Re: Field Day
Forest Park Elementary will have Field Day on Thursday, April 17, 2024. The rainy day will be Monday, April 22. Our goals are for students to be safe and to have fun with their classmates. Please read below about the details about Field Day:
· All parents/visitors park in the parking lot at the back of the school.
· Parents will remain outside during Field Day and not transition into the stations in the building. These stations will be in individual classrooms and there is not enough space in the areas based on fire code regulations for additional people.
· All parents/visitors must stay in the designated area for parents/visitors during the field day. This area will be marked with yellow caution tape and there will be a sign posted stating “PARENTS’ ZONE. Only the students, teachers and staff members assisting with the station can be in the area due to safety concerns. This will allow easy access to stations/students in the event there is a medical emergency.
· Students may eat lunch outside with their parents; however, students must first go through the lunch line and get their school lunch and then go back outside to meet up with the parents. The cafeteria tables for each class are not large enough for parents to eat in the cafeteria with their students. Someone will escort students eating with their parents back to the double doors by the fifth-grade hall and students can join their families in this area.
· Parents should notify their child’s teacher no later than Tuesday, April 15th. if students are going to eat lunch with their parents.
· If parents must enter the building for any reason, they must enter the doors at the main entrance on the front of the building on Milford Street.
· Please be mindful of taking pictures and making videos. Pictures of other people’s children should not be posted on social media.
· Students should be sent to school with the following:
1. Change of clothes because of water games
2. Towel
3. Sunscreen
4. Water bottle
