Principal's Message

Wow, what a wonderful first week of school! It has been a joy to see students settle into the school year: PK and Kindergarten students are entering the building independently, fourth grade students are already building writing stamina, third grade students are diving into multiplication - first graders have conquered the second floor, and so many more exciting updates each and every day. I hope that your child is feeling happy to come to school each day, is beginning to feel confident in their daily routine, and can name at least one thing they enjoy so far about their classroom experience in addition to recess.

This week, we hope that you can join us for Open House on Thursday, September 3 from 4:00 - 5:00 PM. This is an important night where we welcome you into our classrooms to learn about your child's grade level learning goals, understand their classroom systems, consider ways you can support their education at home, and learn about ways to be involved in our school community.

By the end of the week, we also ask that you share updated Emergency Contact forms. All children need current, working phone number of parents/guardian on file. We also need at least one emergency contact, other than a parent/guardian, on file. Please be sure to return these important forms to your child's teacher. Don't forget to add our school phone number to your contacts in your cell phone: (773) 534-2760.

As we look ahead to the end of the week, please be reminded that there is no school on Monday, September 7 in observance of Labor Day.

Wishing you a spectacular second week of school!

Warmly,

Conrey Callahan

Principal, New Field ES
