Halloween Celebrations
Here are the costume guidelines while at school:
- Students should choose costumes that will have minimal interference with their ability to participate in their education.
- Students should not bring masks or use excessive blood or gore.
- Students may not bring makeup to share with others or costume accessories such as weapons, brooms, etc.
- Students who do no adhere to these guidelines will be asked to change into their regular school clothing.
If you have questions about these guidelines or questions about your child's Halloween party, please reach out to their teacher. Teachers will be sharing more information with their classes individually.

Each month we will have a theme that we focus on at school. For the month of September our focus was on Grit and Success. We learned that if we have GRIT and we don’t quit, we will be SUCCESSFUL! We also learned that it’s okay to make mistakes and that mistakes are proof you are trying. We talked about our thoughts, both positive and negative, and how they can affect our feelings and actions. As a school, we are working on recognizing those thoughts that keep us from being our best or doing the things we want to do. Please take some time to review with your child, what they have learned and give them the opportunity to teach you.
