Week 11

Week 11

Announcements:

Costume Waivers: Please return the orange costume waiver forms to school if you wish for your child to wear their costume in the Halloween Parade. Children who have not returned costume waivers may not wear their costume to school on Halloween. If you need a new costume waiver form please email me. 

Halloween Party:  Thank you to every one who donated supplies for the party.  Please send your donations to school with your child on Halloween or earlier.

Halloween Parade: We will be having a Halloween costume parade at 1:20 on Thursday, October 31st. If you have signed the orange costume waiver your child can wear their costumes under their uniform to school.  They may also change into their costume before the parade. However, teachers will not be able to help students change so they need to be able to change themselves.  Also, please be aware that there is limited space in the bathroom for changing so your child may be stuck in a long line. Parents are invited to watch the parade and take pictures if they wish!
