PLEASE READ BEFORE BUYING HALLOWEEN COSTUMES!! / POR FAVOR, LEA ANTES DE COMPRAR DISFRACES DE HALLOWEEN
****AS YOU BEGIN TO PLAN FOR HALLOWEEN COSTUMES, PLEASE KEEP THE FOLLOWING ARCHDIOCESAN STANDARDS IN MIND:
-no scary or gory costumes- this includes evil/scary clowns (ask teacher/principal if you are unsure).
-no costumes that depict inappropriate characters or characters that are not positive examples for children in the world today
-no evil villains of any kind (so Batman is ok but NOT the Joker, for example)
-no masks/face coverings
-no props that depict weapons of any kind
-costume skirts must be no shorter than 2 inches above the knee
-students MUST wear tennis shoes with their costumes, SO if the character normally wears sandals, for example, your child MUST wear tennis shoes anyway.
*IF A STUDENT COMES TO SCHOOL IN A COSTUME THAT DOES NOT MEET THE STANDARDS ABOVE, PARENTS WILL BE CALLED TO BRING IN OTHER CLOTHING.
****A MEDIDA QUE COMIENCE A PLANEAR LOS DISFRACES HALLOWEEN, POR FAVOR MANTENGA EN MENTE LOS SIGUIENTES ESTANDARES DE LA ARQUIDIOCESIS:
-no disfraces que da miedo o sangrientos- esto incluye payasos malvados / aterradores (pregúntele al maestro/director si usted no está seguro)
-no disfraces que representen personajes inapropiados o personajes que no son ejemplos positivos para los niños en el mundo hoy
-no malos villanos de cualquier tipo (así que Batman está bien, pero NO el Guasón, por ejemplo)
-no máscaras/revestimientos faciales
-no accesorios que representan las armas de cualquier tipo
-faldas no debe ser más cortas de 2 pulgadas por encima de la rodilla
-estudiantes deben usar zapatillas de tenis con sus disfraces POR LO QUE si el personaje normalmente usa sandalias, por ejemplo, su hijo DEBE usar zapatos de tenis de todos modos.
*SI UN ESTUDIANTE LLEGA A LA ESCUELA EN UN DISFRASE QUE NO CONOCE LAS NORMAS ANTERIORES, SE PIDE A LOS PADRES QUE TRAIGAN OTRA TRA ROPA.

IMPORTANT CASA UPDATE
We are fortunate to have CASA as our after-school childcare program, which is provided for families needing childcare services before or after school. It is important to note that Morning CASA is from 7:00 - 7:30 am. Afternoon CASA is from your child's dismissal time until 6:00 pm.
We expect all students to be picked up by 6:00 pm. If your child is picked up after 6:00 pm, it is considered late, and a late fee of $5.00 per minute will be applied and charged to your FACTS account.
CASA would like to thank those families who have donated items from their CASA wish list!!
HELP KEEP SPARTANS HEALTHY!
We all know that in a school setting, germs are shared, no matter how careful we all are. Therefore THE BEST THING WE CAN ALL DO FOR EACH OTHER IS TO KEEP OUR CHILDREN HOME WHEN THEY ARE NOT WELL!
While sniffles or a mild cough are not uncommon in the fall, a best practice would be to keep your child home if they are experiencing:
-fever
-sore throat
-significant cough
-vomiting
-general feeling of being unwell
