🎉 Field Day T-Shirt Orders & Volunteer Opportunities 🎉

Get ready for an exciting Field Day! T-shirt orders will open on April 21st and must be submitted by April 28th. The fun-filled event will take place on Friday, May 15th!

Field Day is a beloved tradition at Sequoyah Elementary, and we need your help to make it a fantastic experience for the students! Each teacher will be leading games for their class, and volunteers are greatly appreciated. If you’re able to assist, please reach out to your child’s teacher as we get closer to the event.

You can choose to volunteer during:
☀️ Lower Grades' game time in the morning
🎈 Upper Grades' game time in the afternoon

Your support helps make this event special for all our students—thank you in advance! 💙

If you order a Field Day t-shirt, it will be sent home a few days before the event, so your child can wear it on the big day. Don't miss out on this exciting tradition—it's sure to be a day full of fun and memories!

Please continue to check the calendar on our website for upcoming events.  We will keep this information up to date so you can make plans to attend any events that we schedule.

All transportation changes must be made through our receptionist, who will then notify the teacher. We are unable to accept changes in any other way. Students may not communicate transportation changes verbally to their teacher. If you need to call in a change, please contact the front office no later than 1:50 PM. Thank you for helping us ensure a safe and organized dismissal process.
