This person(s) will coordinate with other ISW volunteers, including working with the ISW Art Project sub-lead (Ryan Silvers). The ISW Lead is responsible for ISW communication to the community (through the newsletter, etc.) and coordinates volunteers to create in-class activities and present an all-school assembly (if time permits). In addition, the Lead helps coordinate the parent volunteers for our PE Ability Awareness stations as well as helps with the Family Potluck. [*If you have someone you'd like to share the work with, Co-Lead pairs are welcome!]
The ISW Lead is a short term position - work begins in late October/early November and ends after the first week of December. Check out our webpage if you're unfamiliar with ISW but would like to see what the week is all about!

1:15pm on Tuesday Oct 31, in the Upper Yard.
The parade will end close to
1:45. S
ome teachers will dismiss directly from the yard and others will dismiss from classrooms, depending on teacher preference.
Additionally, please do not send your students to school in a costume that includes fake weapons or really terrifying/ bloody/ gory costumes that will give our kinder students nightmares. There is a big gray area with halloween costumes, so thanks for erring on the safe and friendly side :)
Adults:
- You are welcome/encouraged to dress up - but, no face masks
- Please remain on the outside of the Morning Circle
- Take pictures/videos and share them on our Shutterfly Site.
Have a safe and happy Halloween!
