Parent Resources
The Field School recognizes that the foremost privilege and responsibility of the education of children is with parents and guardians. As such, we seek to enter into a deliberative partnership with families to create a community of joyful learning and excellent education.
Parents as Partners
The Field School seeks to partner with families toward the goal of an excellent education for each child. To this end, we encourage families to be actively involved in the child’s life as a student. We recognize the value of communication and dialogue in this process and welcome any questions or concerns via email to office@thefieldschool.org or phone at (773) 309-8010.
Family Involvement
Family Tree Organization (FTO)
The Family Tree Organization is an active parent organization designed to help families connect with one another through events and service opportunities in partnership with The Field School leadership.
The FTO sponsors various events throughout the school year, such as Field Day, Prayer Team (regular parent meetings to pray for the school community), the Christmas Concert reception, and Teacher Appreciation Week.

Learn MoreSchool Uniforms
The Field School maintains an official standard of dress with a school uniform. Students are required to be in uniform whenever they are at school and at most school-related functions. This helps foster an attitude of obedience to school authorities, eliminates social competition regarding dress, teaches students to focus on habit development and academic learning, and strengthens the spirit of the school community.
School uniforms can be purchased at Schoolbelles HERE using the code “S2733.”
School Uniform PolicyExtended Care
The Field School recognizes the need for safe and structured child care before and after school for families who work beyond the school day hours. For this reason, we provide Before Care from 7:00 to 8:15 a.m. and After Care from 3:30 to 5:55 p.m. This optional service is provided by The Field School for an additional fee.
For more information about Extended Care or how to enroll, please email office@thefieldschool.org.
Saturday School
In order to encourage family interaction and build community within the school, The Field School holds Saturday School two times per school year, typically late September and early March. All students and parents and guardians attend Saturday School together, participating in classroom activities and special classes for parents. Please check the school calendar for upcoming Saturday School dates and times.
