Rain, Rain, Go Away… we want to have outdoor Field Day. 

We have been monitoring the weather forecast for tomorrow (Fri. 530). It appears we MAY be able to hold Field Day (for grades 2-5) outdoors. This will be a “game day” decision made by Mr. Bernhardt and Mrs. Pearson. Spectators are welcome only if Field Day is outdoors. Please pack an extra pair of dry socks/shoes for your student as the grass will most likely be wet.

In the event of rain, or if field conditions are too wet, we will go with our backup plan to have Field Day indoors with no spectators. No further announcement will be coming out regarding tomorrow’s plan. Keep an eye on the weather.

Visitor Parking: If Field Day is outdoors, all spectators will need to use the parking lot as well as space along the bus loop (closest to Prospect Road) to park. Please do NOT park in the car rider loop or on the grass. To provide more parking for spectators, we have asked faculty/staff members to park in the back of the building or carpool from the Chinese Bible Church of Lancaster across the street.  

Grades K, 3, 6, 9, and 12

iPads, cases/keyboard cases, charging brick and charging cables are being collected from students currently in grades K, 3, 6, 9, and 12. These iPads are being replaced over the summer and must be turned in. If you have a student in one of these grades, please know that these devices and chargers are being collected throughout the end of this week as well as next week. (See scheduled dates below). Apple iPads and chargers in these grade levels must be turned in. (Students in ESY or Summer School do NOT need to turn in their iPad until the program is completed in August.)

• Grade 12 Collection: Friday, May 30^th: PAC Lobby: 7:20AM-3:00PM
• Grade 9 Collection: Monday, June 2^nd through Wednesday, June 4th: HHS Commons and PAC Lobby
• Grades K, 3, 6 Collection: Monday, June 2^nd through Wednesday, June 4th: In student homeroom 

Grades 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, and 11

Students in these grade levels have the option to turn in their iPad or keep it at home for use this summer. The district will be collecting iPads from students who wish to turn them in for summer storage next week (June 2nd-June 4^th). Chargers should remain at home for use next school year and will NOT be collected if a student is turning in their iPad for the summer. Students who turn in the iPad for the summer will receive the iPad in their new homeroom at the start of the 2025-2026 school year. Please contact the Technology Office at 717-898-5596 for any iPad-related questions over the summer. 

Medication with Nurse

If your student has medication in the health room, please stop in to pick up medications before the last day of school, June 4th. If you have any questions, please contact the health room at 717-459-5273.

Lost and Found

If your child is missing a jacket/coat, water bottle, lunch kit, etc., please ask your child to check the lost & found before the last day of school (June 4). Lost & found items are located on the hooks/shelves that wrap around underneath the main stairwell. Parents, you are welcome to stop in during the school day, and office staff can escort you to the lost & found area to search.

–Enjoy Your Summer!!

As you are aware, Farmdale’s Field Day for grades 2-5 was scheduled for May 13^th with a rain date of May 15^th. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate on either of those dates. 

Field Day was then rescheduled for tomorrow, May 28^th with a rain date of May 30^th. Due to rain, we will not be holding Field Day tomorrow. 

We are hopeful the forecast will improve so Field Day can be held outdoors on Friday, May 30^th. If it is held outdoors, spectators are welcome.

At this time, the forecast does not look good for Friday so we may need to move Field Day indoors. If it is raining Friday morning, you can assume that Field Day will be indoors. If this occurs, we will be unable to accommodate spectators for indoor Field Day. Thank you for your understanding.
