Halloween
Please be watching for information from your student's teacher about activities that will be happening in the classroom on Tuesday, October 31. Many of our teachers have a Harvest Party, a Pumpkin Extravaganza, or other exciting event planned for the afternoon.
As a school, will not be wearing costumes on Halloween. This includes masks, face paint, and/or costume accessories. Instead, we are encouraging students and staff to wear orange and black or a fall themed sweatshirt or t-shirt on Halloween.
Survey
Please take a few moments to complete the district survey to provide feedback on the bell schedules and busing. To complete the survey, please click HERE or scan the QR code.
As we continuously strive to enhance the educational experience for our students, we value your input and insights. To that end, St. Helens School District is excited to announce the launch of a survey designed to gather your thoughts and opinions on our bell and bus schedule.
Your feedback is crucial in helping us make informed decisions that are rooted in community engagement. The survey aims to ensure that we consider the needs and preferences of all our families. Here's what you can expect:
Survey Overview:
Basic Information: We will start by collecting some basic information to ensure we capture the diversity of perspectives within our community.
Bell and Bus Schedules: The survey will then delve into various considerations that impact our bell and bus schedules. We want to hear your thoughts and insights on how these schedules affect you and your child's educational experience.
Your participation in this survey will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our school district. By sharing your valuable input, you contribute to the development of schedules that better align with our community's needs.
We encourage you to take a few moments to complete the survey and let your voice be heard. The survey is estimated to take five minutes to complete and will only accept one submission per IP address.
Thank you for being an essential part of our St. Helens School District community, and for helping us make informed decisions that benefit our students.
