1. Hot Lunch Is Back! As Dr. Green mentioned in his email this week, tomorrow is an exciting day for our Field Schoolers: hot lunch is back in the Field School cafeteria! Going forward, there will be a hot lunch with multiple vegetable/fruit/grain choices that students can select when they have lunch. This also means that families will no longer need to sign up for lunch in advance. This year, lunch will continue to be free for all students, and there is a menu posted on the school website here. If students do not like the hot lunch item on a given day, they will always be able to select a salad, sunbutter sandwich, ham croissant, or bagel with cream cheese instead.

Students who decide to get a cafeteria lunch will make their selections and enter their code (their Chromebook passwords) into the cash register. It is important to note that students can buy a second lunch or additional food items (e.g., extra milk, cheese sticks, yogurts) using cash, check, or online MySchoolBucks. To add money to your child’s account, please click here. You can email Field School’s Head Cook/Manager, Peggy Paronian, if you would like your child to be able to purchase additional items beyond a daily free lunch. Please reach out to Dr. Green with any questions.

2. Fifth Grade Holiday Fundraiser: Are you planning on ordering holiday cards, personalized calendars or photo books over the next month?  If you are, please think about ordering from Mixbook.  You’ll save money and with every order placed, Field School will get a portion of the sale to help support 5th Grade Celebration Day. Use our exclusive code MHSFFIELDJL to save 50% on your order.  This code expires on 12/31/2022.  Thank you for your support!

3. The Lost & Found is full! The Field School Lost and Found is overflowing with jackets, hoodies, lunchboxes, water bottles–you name it! Please encourage your Field Schooler to take a look if they are missing a personal item. Parents can also stop by to take a look during school hours; the Lost and Found is located in the main lobby of the school, and you can ring the bell at the front door and let Mrs. Bergin or Ms. Bullock know that you are there to look in the lost and found. Please note that all items not claimed by December 23 will be donated to Cradles to Crayons.
