Halloween Guidelines: Costume Day -Tuesday Oct. 31

I know our students are starting to think about their Halloween costumes. Please remember basic dress code will be enforced, so if you have any questions, please refer to your agenda, which contains our Handbook and Code of Conduct.

The following exceptions will be permitted:

General Halloween costumes in good taste
Facial make-up

The following will not be accepted:

No masks that cover a student's entire face
Weapons of any kind - props
No article of clothing may be worn which displays ads or promotions for alcoholic beverage, tobacco, or any other drug; or which advocates violence, death, or use of force against any institution, individual, racial, ethnic, or cultural group; or displays inappropriate satanic or profane language.
Bare midriffs, tank tops, muscle shirts and transparent shirts or blouses are not permitted. All shirts should provide appropriate coverage for all areas of the upper body. Undergarments must not be visible.

As always, please do not hesitate to contact your child's teacher, school counselor, grade level principal, or me with any questions.

Thanks,

Erin

Kindness Walk

We have been looking ahead to Friday's weather and, unfortunately, it is not looking great. Our Student Council Team has decided to play it safe and change the date of the Kindness Walk to Thursday, October 12. Thanks to our PTA for making sure our kids can still enjoy some Kona Ice after their walk.

Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT)

Students in the 6th grade will be taking the CogAT on Friday, October 6. Please click here to view an informational letter regarding this assessment.

It is that time of year again for the PTA reflections contest! This year's theme is "I am hopeful because...".

There is also a Special Artist division for all grades for those students who identify as having a disability and may receive services under IDEA or ADA with an IEP or 504.
