Norton Creek Elementary

Halloween Parties

We will have Halloween parties October 29. At 1:45, students will change into their costumes which they must be able to put on independently. Costumes should be put on over their clothes. Costumes should not have masks beyond their face coverings they wear to mitigate COVID-19, blood, gore, or weapons. Parties will begin at roughly 2:00 and begin to wrap up and clean up at 2:45 so students dismiss on time at 3:00.

Thanksgiving Holiday Support

It is important to us at Norton Creek that we provide a community of care and support to our families, especially when faced with financial hardship.

The current situation related to the COVID-19 pandemic has caused some families to experience a need related to job loss, medical bills, child care, etc. District 303 has several supports available for families through our schools.

We are currently reaching out to see if your family is in need of meal support for the Thanksgiving holiday. Please fill out the survey in the link below if your family has a need.
