There will be music, a costume parade, and food for sale. Adults and students are encouraged to dress up. Although the Costume Dance is an after school hours event, it is on school grounds so we ask that you respectfully abide by the following guidelines for all costumes:

Costumes may not be offensive or inappropriate in any way

Conferences
- Family Input - our classroom teachers will be prepared to discuss your child around the eight competencies that are laid out on the Vision of a Graduate, share the beginning of the year data from MAP and/or PALS (if applicable), etc. However, we want your input ahead of time to assist teachers in their prep. Please fill out this three question survey for each of your children so that teachers can make sure they are planning appropriately.

- Time - all teachers will use a timer in their conference to keep the conference to the allotted time. We want to respect not only your time, but also the time of all other families and teachers. When one conference runs long, it can back up not only the rest of that teacher’s schedule of conferences, but also other teachers and families as well since many students have siblings or some conferences involve multiple staff members attending.
