Halloween Update

Students are permitted to wear costumes to school on Tuesday, October 31. If your child plans to dress up for Halloween this year, set guidelines are in place to maintain safety and learning for this day.

The following are not permitted:

• No costume masks covering the face.
• No weapons or props can be carried.
• No images or symbols that would be deemed offensive.
• No costumes that would pose a hazard or restrict a student from sitting or moving through the hallway.
• School dress code applies (appropriate length/not revealing)

Thanks for your cooperation as we try to make the day fun and exciting. While still focusing on our primary responsibility of teaching and learning.

Parent-Teacher Conferences 

Parent-teacher conferences will be held on October 26 from 3:30-7:30 p.m. Each grade level team of teachers is in the process of notifying families for meetings for areas in need. If you haven't been contacted by the team or individual teachers and are requesting a conference, please reach out accordingly to ensure the team knows of special requests.
