ESTABLISHING ROUTINES - TARDIES
FYI - More and more students are arriving to school late - Just a reminder that Baker Elementary begins at 9:00 AM. Students dropped off after 9:00 AM are Tardy.

HALLOWEEN HAPPENINGS
Halloween activities at Baker are scheduled for Thursday, October 31. Weather permitting, we are planning on having the traditional “downtown” Halloween Parade. The all-school parade will begin at 1:50. See your child’s classroom newsletters for specific party times and details. For the parade, children walk in costume with their teacher and parents are welcome to walk along.
Please do not send students to school in their costume or face make-up. Students will have time before the parade begins to get dressed. Costumes should be very simple. Time does not allow for elaborate dress. We also ask that costumes be age appropriate and not too “scary”. Costumes should be fun but we ask that you avoid monsters or creatures that are bloody, vicious or are associated with current events that might be frightening to young children. Students should wear comfortable shoes for the parade—please no high heels.
REMINDER—No guns, swords or weapons of any kind are permitted in school.
Adults are asked NOT to dress up. Halloween dress up activities are for the students and their teachers only. All parents and visitors will be required to sign in at the office. All parties will be concluded by 3:10. Parents may take their child home early and the child will not be given a tardy. All students must be signed out at the front door before leaving.
Again - We ask that parents DO NOT dress up in costumes. Visitors with a “scary” or “inappropriate” appearance will be asked to leave.
