Costume Guidelines & Upcoming Dress-Up Days
Mark your calendars! Our annual Book Character Day will be on Friday, October 30th. On this day, both students and staff are invited to come to school dressed as their favorite book character.
Your family might be starting to shop or craft Halloween costumes. If they’re planning to also wear that costume to school for Book Character Day on October 30, please keep our school-wide safety and comfort guidelines in mind. To ensure a safe, fun, and distraction-free environment for all students, the following items are not permitted at school:
No Inflatable Costumes: These create space and visibility issues in hallways and classrooms and can prevent students from sitting in class and lunch.
No Face Masks: Staff must be able to identify all students easily.
No Scary or Overly Gory Costumes: We want to keep the day fun and welcoming for our younger learners.
Upcoming Parent Teacher Conferences
Parent Teacher Conferences will be held Monday, November 2nd from 12:00-7:00pm. We would like for every parent to attend conferences if possible so that we can share report card information and beginning of the year data. Make sure to reach out to your child’s teacher to schedule a conference. Looking forward to seeing everyone!
Happy Fall!
