Parents, thank you in advance for helping us make sure that Halloween is a fun, exciting day for students. We ask you to help us with the following guidelines:

• Please, no fake weapons
• Please, no blood or gore
• Please no masks that make it unsafe to see when walking (if your child can safely wear a mask, that's fine)

Thanks to our Spanish teacher, Maestra Rubio, our students will be participating in creating items for our Day of the Dead display. She will be sending a letter to parents this week.

They are welcome to bring pictures of a loved one who has passed, including pets! If you want your picture back, please make sure you write their name & teacher's name on the back of the photo. A copy of a picture is fine as well! Please have your child bring in their pictures before 10/28. You are welcome to bring them to the office as well. We invite you all to come and look at our display in the cafeteria during the week of 10/31-11/5.

Please join us at the St. Helena Public Library for a special SHPS Family Reading Night on Wednesday, November 14th at 6pm. Students can come in their pajamas, we'll have read-alouds in Spanish and English, snacks, and crafts. - NOTE THE NEW DATE FROM NOV. 9TH TO NOV. 14TH! Thank you.
