Hello Families!

We have a lot going on the next two weeks! Most of all, I’m greatly looking forward to meeting with you and your student this Wednesday or Thursday at Family-Teacher Conferences. These conferences will be student-led, and they have worked hard to share their learning with you. Please bring them along!

If you haven’t done so yet, please save your conference spot using the Sign-Up Genius link emailed to you. If there is not a time listed that will work for you, please reach out to me so we can try to make other arrangements. Please note that these days are also early out days for students.

With conferences and Halloween, there will be no math tutoring this week or next week.

Our school Halloween parade will be held Tuesday, October 31st, beginning at 9:00 am. The route is in the email sent by the administration last week. Please make sure you and your child are also aware of the costume guidelines below:

Costumes should be modest and without blood or gore. Students are welcome to paint their faces and wear Halloween masks, but masks will only be worn when directed to do so by the classroom teacher (e.g. during the parade, when a class picture is taken, etc.). No one should enter the school wearing a mask. Weapons and anything that depicts violence are not allowed on school property (knives, guns, swords, spears, etc.). If you have questions about costume accessories, please contact us. Just to reiterate, no blood or gore, either depicted on the costume or in makeup, is allowed.

Thank you for your support in keeping our school environment safe for everybody.

Our class Halloween party will begin just after morning recess at 10:30 am with games and activities until 11:30 and cartoons and snacks from 11:30-12:20. At 12:20 pm the students will go to recess and lunch. This day will be early out at 1:10 pm. If you haven’t done so yet, please sign our food permission slip for this and other activities here. Also, we still need a few volunteers for the party. Please let me know if you are available to help out. Thank you!

Finally, there is no school for students on Wednesday, November 1st, the day following Halloween, but there will be school on Thursday and Friday, November 2nd and 3rd.

Thank you,

Mrs. Shaw
