Halloween is Tuesday, October 31st and students are allowed to wear costumes. Please note that classes do not host classroom parties on this day. Even with costumes we try and keep a normal day of learning. Please follow the guidelines below when selecting costumes for school wear: 

1. Students should not wear mask covering their faces. Some face paint is fine, but we should be able to clearly recognize your child during the day.

2. Weapon like props (toy swords, toy guns, spikes lug nuts, rope, etc.) should not be a part of the costume or brought to school in backpacks. 

3. We recommend costumes focused on storybook characters, children’s movie characters, superheroes, etc. Gory, scary costumes are not allowed. Costumes with negative language or messaging should not be worn. 

4. Children must be able to go through their normal school day in their costumes. Costumes should not be so cumbersome that they cannot sit in their desk, on carpet, function at recess, or need to change clothes.

If you have any questions about a costume choice being appropriate for school, please reach out to your child's teacher.

Also, mark you calendar for coffee with the Principal Friday, November 3, 8:00 am.

As we celebrate National Principals Month, we wanted to take a moment to express our gratitude and admiration for our exceptional principal, Mrs. Thompson. October is the perfect time to recognize and honor the unwavering commitment and dedication that Mrs. Thompson has shown to our school community.

Mrs. Thompson is more than just an administrator; she is the heart and soul of our school. Her leadership has fostered a nurturing, inspiring, and inclusive environment that encourages students to flourish and teachers to excel. Every day, she leads by example, demonstrating the qualities of kindness, integrity, and resilience that we aim to instill in our students.

As the month ends, let us show our appreciation and celebrate Mrs. Thompson for her dedication to the success and well-being of our school community. Thank you, Mrs. Thompson, for your unwavering commitment to education and for making our school an inspiring place to learn and grow.
