A Reading with Mrs. Solomon and the Wild Rose Panther
Halloween Celebrations
- Costumes may be worn to school UNLESS it is a inflatable costume that would distract both the student and other students to move and view teaching. Inflatable costumes will be brought and changed into for their celebration. Please remember that students will need to conduct their everyday activities in their costumes (recess, P.E., etc.).
- The ONLY masks worn are the safety masks that are worn daily. Other masks will not be allowed.
- Celebrations will occur at different times throughout the day due to our lunch and specials schedules.
- There will be NO parade for families to attend.
- There will be NO food at any of the celebrations.
- Classroom teachers are working with their parent liaison to plan and provide for their classroom celebrations.
While we know this will be different our staff and families are working to make it a fun and enjoyable day!
Wild Rose Spirit Wear - Closes this Sunday, October 25th
Every Friday at Wild Rose is spirit wear day, wear your Wild Rose Spirit wear or show your school spirit by wearing our school colors red or blue at home or at school!

Students will be able to return to school when:
- If a COVID test is completed for the family member and test results are negative, the students in the family may return to school.
- If the symptomatic family member is evaluated by his/her doctor and an alternative diagnosis is given to the family member, the students in the family may return to school.
- If no COVID testing or no evaluation by a healthcare provider of the symptomatic family member, the family member will need to stay home 10 calendar days from onset of symptoms and ALL children in the family will need to stay home 14 calendar days from the onset of symptoms.
