Reminders From Your Head of School

Halloween: We are excited to bring back costumes this year!  Please check the guidelines below to assure your child is in compliance.  Any child not in compliance will need to go home to change so please help us out.  There will be a parade of students Preschool-2nd grade in the hallway for the older kids to see at 8:15 am.  This is for students and staff only. Preschool-2nd, then will change out of their costumes.  Please see information from your individual teacher on specifics.  


Guidelines:


No masks or props or weapons (fake or otherwise)

No face paint, make up is ok

No blood/gore/scary

Must follow school guidelines on length/modesty

Item or concept must be appropriate for school

No group costumes, this is a time for children to celebrate their uniqueness not a time to exclude others.

No inflatable costumes

Morph suits can be worn if shorts and a tank top are worn over them


MUSICAL!!: We are super excited to bring back a Curé of Ars Musical Production!  This Spring COA will present Suessical the Musical!  There have been some changes as this year auditions will be open to grades 6-8 and it is an audition only performance.  What is great about this production is there are a lot of ensemble parts so no worries if you don’t get a solo!  We also will have openings for stage crew, costumes, and tech.  Auditions will be on November 14th with November 15th being call backs.  We are inviting music teachers from outside of COA to help with auditions.  8th grade will have priority for principal parts.  Look for more detailed information coming soon.  Mrs. Michelle Staub will be the Director with Dr. West as Musical Directing support. 


Parking: We have had several complaints from businesses that we are using their parking lots for student pick up.  It is important that we respect our neighbors and their businesses.  This is especially important for businesses like the Mission Road Animal Hospital, Planet Sub, Tropical Smoothie and Bravo Nails & Spa to have access to all of their parking spaces as they have limited parking for their clients. I have been called to a meeting next week with the Leawood Public Works Department about our parking issues.  I strongly encourage families that have “walkers” to consider picking up your students at 3:38-3:40. By this time, there is no line and many of  your kids will enjoy the social aspect!
