Personal health and safety education - Parent Notification Letter
ELSA Overview Parent Letter 2025/2026 
May 12, 2025
Dear New Field families,
Four short weeks remain in the school year and so many fun activities ahead! This week we begin wrapping up some of our parent programming. We are holding our final PAC and BAC meetings on Wednesday, May 13 and will host our final Coffee with the Principal on Friday, May 15. As a reminder some after school programming has ended, and a few programs continue through week 36. If you have any questions about programming please contact our after school coordinator, Manini Rao, mrao2@cps.edu.
This week we also begin preparing for important transitions for our students. All Fourth grade families received a reminder about their fifth grade school of enrollment. Please be sure to confirm your child's next school of attendance so that we can make sure they are set up for success! If you plan to attend a school that is different than what is listed on your letter please be sure to contact our school assistant Rachel Cordoba, RLBabcock@cps.edu. Fourth grade students also have their final incentive activity this week, if you have not done so please turn in your child's permission slip if they are eligible for the field trip.
Rising preschool students and families that will attend Kindergarten at New Field this year are invited to attend Kindergarten Open House on Wednesday, May 13 at 4:15 PM. This is a great opportunity to meet our preschool team, learn a bit about the differences in a preschool and kindergarten school day, and begin preparing for the transition in the fall.
As we move into Weeks 36 and 37 - field trips, class celebrations and schoolwide events continue! If you are interested in chaperoning a field trip please be sure to complete the CPS Volunteer Application (select New Field as your site location) and stop by the office to get your ID verified and application approved.
Wishing you all a wonderful week ahead.
Warmly,
Conrey Callahan
Principal, New Field ES
