School News

Mark your calendars for the annual Pumpkin Walk and Halloween Parade. The Pumpkin Walk is on Saturday, 10/22 from 2:00-6:00 pm. There is a flyer in this Thursday's envelope with more information and a spot for VOLUNTEEERS to sign up!! We need your help to make this event as successful as it's alwasy been.

Also, our other favorite event this month is the Halloween parade on Monday, October 31st from 8:30-9:00 am on the blacktop. Families are welcome to come, but please remember siblings are not allowed to walk in the parade. There will be cones out for families to stand behind so that the students can sit in front and have room to walk.

Some things to remember:

*Pretend weapons of any type are not allowed at school. (ex., light sabers, swords, guns, etc.)

*Masks cannot be worn.

*Students will need to change out of their costumes after the parade, so please remember if you choose to use make-up and hair dyes, use them sparingly and send a change of clothes with your child.

Lastly, due to the unfortunate situations with clowns in the news recently, clown costumes for children or adults are not allowed at the Pumpkin Walk or Halloween Parade. Thank you for your understanding. We hope you can join us for both of these fun events!

For Oct. 31–Nov. 4: Schools will dismiss students earlier to provide parents more opportunities for school progress discussions with teachers.

A recent change in the Oct. 31 – Nov. 4 schedule will afford parents more opportunities for parent-teacher discussions about their child’s report card and school progress.

Please note the special release schedule shown below and plan accordingly.

For the week of Oct. 31–Nov. 4

Our alternative recess room, known as the Lynx Center, is in need of new games! This is a space where children can go during recess if they prefer to not be on the playground. They can do art, build with Legos and blocks, and play games like checkers, chess and card games. In order to keep this room exciting, we are hoping to get donations of new games, puzzles, art supplies, and Legos, both small and larger sizes. If you can donate any of these items, they can be dropped off in the office. Thank you in advance for your help!
