Dear Parents/Guardians,

St. Vincent de Paul Elementary School's field day for grades K-5 will be held on Monday, May 19th. The rain-out date is Tuesday, May 20th. We are very excited for this year’s theme of Wet and Wild, where water plays a major factor in the stations. Please review the dress code below, and let me know if you have any questions.

Dress Code for the day:

- Students are allowed to wear shorts, jeans, or sweatpants, with an appropriate t-shirt or sweatshirt (no sleeveless tops, please). No skirts.

- Tennis shoes are required to be worn for participation—no sandals. For safety reasons, these shoes must cover the toe and heel of the student and remain on the foot of the student when the student runs. Parents will be called to bring the correct shoes if a student is not wearing proper ones.

- No Swimsuits.

- Socks must follow the dress code.

- When outdoors, hats may be worn to aid in protection from the sun.

Lunch:

- No hot lunch will be served; sack lunches are required.

Please note:

- We ask that students please bring their own water bottles and have them labeled.

- Please keep all sunscreen bottles at home, and sunscreen your child before they come to school.

- The stations will involve water this year, and your child will get wet. It’s advised to send them with an extra pair of clothes to change into and possibly a towel, especially if your child (3-5) is in the morning session.    

- Parents or guests are NOT permitted to come to watch the events.

If your child has any medicine in the school office, please plan on picking it up during the last week of school. Medications will be available for pickup on Thursday, May 22nd between 12-3 P.M. and Friday, May 23 between 8 A.M. - 3 P.M. If these times do not work for you, please reach out to schedule another time for pick up. Any medications that are not picked up will be disposed of.

We will again be offering the option to purchase school supply kits to be delivered to your child’s classroom at back-to-school night. Please use this link if you are interested in purchasing a kit: Link Here
