FIeld Day Updates

Fri, 05/24/2024 - 10:23am

Field Day will now be Friday, May 31st from 9:40-3:40. We are in great need of many volunteers to make this a successful event for the students. If you can volunteer any amount of time, that would be helpful! Just write the time you are available to help in the comment section. We will also have "open tickets" for volunteers to take the morning of if you can't commit to signing up ahead of time. The SignUp Genius will close on Tuesday, May 28th to allow us time to prepare and send home your schedules with your child. For those who received a volunteer packet for the original 5/23 Field Day, please disregard that schedule. If you are volunteering for 5/31, we will send you a new schedule. If you have any questions or changes in your volunteer status, please reach out to the PE team. Thanks! 

 

Many parent volunteers are needed to make Field Day a fun experience for everyone.  Enthusiasm is the only expertise needed to manage the activities.  Parent volunteers and staff members will run the stations. Classroom teachers will accompany classes and supervise the children. Volunteer slots are available as full day (9:40 - 3:40), half day morning (9:40 - 12:10), and half day afternoon (1:10 - 3:40) but volunteers can sign up for any block of time they are available. We need many volunteers to make our Field Day a success! When you volunteer, information will be sent home with your child the week of Field Day with your assignments and station directions. 

As with all HCPSS volunteers, Field Day volunteers must adhere to HCPSS guidelines. Please complete the following steps to volunteer for Field Day:

  1. Complete the short volunteer confidentiality training and then fill out the form and bring it to school.

Thank you for your continued support of the SJLES Physical Education program and department.  An all-day Field Day is a major event and can only happen if we all work together for the students.  We welcome anyone who wants to volunteer to make this day a good time for everyone.
