Principal Notes
Dear Parents,
We celebrate Halloween on Friday with our Student Council Games. It is a loud and fun time for all of us with lots of school spirit. Unfortunately, the hall is not large enough to accommodate the entire student body plus visitors so we cannot invite parents to this event.
Next Monday, on Halloween, the class parties take place in the morning followed by the Halloween Parade at 11 a.m. Parents and younger siblings are invited to the Halloween Parade. At the end of the parade we invite siblings who are in costume to come out and parade with us. The parade takes place in the south yard. After the parade, all students must return to the classrooms. If you are in attendance, you may go to the classroom and sign your child out with their teacher. Those not signed out then will come out to the yard for regular dismissal at 12:30. Falcon's Nest will be open until 6 pm.
Please keep in mind when planning your child's costume that we are a Catholic school. Costumes may not be too gory, bloody, have weapons, or be sexualized. Alternate dress rules apply to costumes too so make sure that your child does not wear spaghetti straps or strapless tops, have midriffs showing, or are too short or tight. Pants need to be held up with a belt and also be appropriate. Thank you for following these guidelines.
Have a fantastic week!
Jennifer
