Get ready, because here it comes, Field Day 2026. This year, Field Day is scheduled for June 11th with a rain date of June 12th. Kindergarten – 2nd grade will start Field Day at 9:20 and end at 11:00 (Volunteers 9:05-11:00). Grades 3rd – 5th will start Field Day at 11:40 and end around 1:40 (Volunteers 11:25-1:40). During the event the students will rotate through 10-12 stations while performing different activities. For your child’s Field Day they should come to school with a few items such as proper footwear (NO FLIP FLOPS), a water bottle, a small towel if they want (YES THERE WILL BE WATER), and most importantly a smile. In the past, we have worked together with our cafeteria staff to provide a BBQ style lunch for the students with choices of hamburgers, hotdogs, and delicious sides. 

With Field Day being such a big event, I am always looking for volunteers to possibly help run stations, fill water balloons, or help the teachers walk the students from station to station. We are teaming up with the Oakmont Peer Leaders and Overlook Middle School students to run some of the stations, but they may need help. If you would like to volunteer for your child’s Field Day, please complete the form below by clicking the link. If you don’t have a CORI form filled out or you believe your CORI is out of date, please come to the office and fill one out. CORI’s take about a week to process, so if you're interested in volunteering, please fill out the proper paperwork by June 3rd. CORI forms can be picked up at the office. 

I am really looking forward to Field Day this year, and I know the students are as well. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me.

Thanks

We have already placed an order for I Survived Outdoor Classroom T-shirts, but if your child wants a sweatshirt or an additional T-Shirt (we ordered green ones), you can purchase them on your own using the link above. We are getting excited for the final preparation for the trip. Our review of behavior expectations will take place next week, and we hope the weather will cooperate.

June 17- Last Day Of School- Half Day

Our school-wide Memorial Day Assembly is scheduled for the morning of Friday, May 22nd. Each child in grades 1-4 has received a copy of their grade’s song lyrics to practice at home between music class rotations. Grades 3 & 4 can also access their song lyrics and recordings on their Music Google Classrooms. Kindergarten students have been practicing their song since January, so they are ready to go!

We traditionally have each grade level wear a color to represent the American flag. This is strictly optional! If your child does not have their grade’s color, that’s fine! They can wear anything that they normally wear to school. 

Our JRB Chorus members will be singing the National Anthem and may also wear regular school attire and/or their grade’s color, rather than concert attire. The colors are as follows:

PreK/K: WHITE

1st/2nd: RED

3rd/4th: BLUE

5th grade readers: Red, White & Blue

*AWCM will be there to film the assembly, so that families may watch it at a later time* 

We are having our annual Recital Night on Tuesday, June 9th, at 6:30pm. Any JRB student who takes instrumental or voice lessons, either here at JRB or elsewhere, is welcome to participate! Please click HERE for the form, or have your student see Mr. or Mrs. Lordan for a copy. FORMS ARE DUE TO MRS. LORDAN BY FRIDAY, MAY 22nd on a first come, first serve basis, with a limit of 15-20 performances. Any questions, please contact Mrs. Lordan: mlordan@awrsd.org.
