Dear Families,
Today is more of a logistical email.
First, Fall Conference Sign Up was sent out to all families today. They are mandatory. Please sign up! As a reminder, this means that next week, Wednesday, Oct. 30th is a noon dismissal. School is closed on 10/31- 11/1 for conferences. 1st- 8th grade students are required to be in attendance.
This Saturday is the Halloween Carnival, and you’re in for a great treat. The PO Halloween Carnival Committee has been working hard to bring so many wonderful things to life, including bringing back a Haunted Hallway, and for those 21+, even a beer garden! We hope that you can join us to celebrate the fun and festivities of the season, and to witness the lucky middle school student who gets chosen to even pie me in the face for best costume! This is from 3-6 on Saturday and open to the whole community.
Speaking of Halloween, for those who are new, or who are unaware of the Halloween customs around school for Wednesday, October 30th, the guidelines are below:
Halloween Attire and Costumes:
-
ELC-4th: Costumes or school uniforms.
-
No weapons, masks, violence, or gore. No “adult” or inappropriate content or apparel (review “free dress” guidelines in the handbook if you need more context). As parents/ guardians, use your judgment and general school appropriateness. As principal, if I determine that a costume is inappropriate, your child will be sent to the office to change into uniform.
-
5-8th Grade: No costumes. Halloween colors (orange/ black/ purple/ green) or school uniform. No costume ears, face paint, hair dye, etc.
For ELC- 4th grade, there will be a parade around 11 am. If you would like to attend to see it, please let the teacher know directly. This will likely include you volunteering to help with any class party that may be occurring. What a fun way to accrue some service hours!
Remember, Virtus / Safe Environment & Background must be complete and approved in order to volunteer.
