Thank you to the FOCAL kids, Jay Dee Keen, Grand Canyon University, as well as our amazing staff and parent volunteers, for making Field Day a (chilly) success!!! Have a great summer, everyone!
Revision Made to Clear Backpack Policy
Providing students and staff with access to a safe and secure school environment is an important Board goal. Beginning with the 2026-2027 school year, if a student violates the student handbook by misconduct of "possession" of items not allowed the student will be required to follow the clear bag policy for the remainder of the school year.
Clear bags are completely clear on all sides except the bottom, but they may have mesh side pockets and/or a mesh organizer in the front pocket. Clear bags may also have colored straps and may have leather or vinyl edge reinforcements so long as visibility is not obstructed. Mesh, sling, and transparent colored bags are not allowed. Clear bags may not be lined with fabric, paint, or any other material that conceals its contents.
Upon entry into school all bags are subject to search.

Hey 3rd to 5th graders!! Our field trip is tomorrow and we are hoping the weather will hold out so we can enjoy the park and Yellin' Helen's after bowling. To make ordering go smoothly and quickly with so many kids, we are planning to take the kids orders in the morning so that we can let the employees at Yellin' Helen's know what to have ready for us later on in the day. They are charging our students and even $4 for a mini cup with one topping. Here's what your child can pick from:
Ice cream flavors
Vanilla
Chocolate
Twist
Strawberrybutter
Banana
Raspberry Dole
Toppings:
Chocolate chips
M&Ms
Brownie bites
Cheesecake pieces
Gummy bears
Cookie dough
Oreo
Sprinkles
Parents, if you could have your child pick their flavor and topping and be ready to tell us teachers in the morning we would greatly appreciate it! Remember to send cash!

Express Care will be at Field School on Thursday, May 14 from 1:00-3:00 to do sports physicals. There is a $10 charge and forms are available in the office! These would be for any student who will be in 3-8 grade next school year (26-27). Students going into 6th grade will not need a sports physical because their school physical will cover them for the year.
Field Organization of Civic and Academic Leaders (FOCAL) would like to send a big thank you to everyone who came to our Glo-Bingo fundraiser!!! We had a great turnout, and so much fun! Thanks to the El Ranch truck and The Joyful Sip for coming out!
This incredible group of young people lead the way in their classwork as well as their character. This year they have hosted a luncheon for Veterans Day, organized a food drive for the Park Avenue food pantry, collected items for the Jefferson County Animal Shelter, and they will be hosting Field Day at the end of the year. We are very proud of them!
More from Glo-Bingo!
