Classroom Halloween Celebrations
All classroom teachers will designate a portion of class time on either Thursday 10/29 or Friday 10/30 for a Fall Halloween Celebration. Exact time and details will be provided by your child's teacher. For those families not celebrating Halloween, your children are not required to attend class at that time. An optional alternate Fall Activity will be shared in the Google Classroom for your children.
Kindergarten Open House- We will be hosting a brief Kindergarten Open House for students scheduled to attend in-person during the Hybrid Learning Model. This will provide students an opportunity to come into the school and see their classroom prior to returning on November 10th and 11th. Families are asked to meet outside of Door 3 (near the side parking lot) at the designated time below. We will begin with a brief outdoor greeting and then students will be invited to enter the school with their teachers to visit the classrooms.
Date: Monday November 2, 2020
Location: Outside of Door 3 (near side parking lot)
Time:
Hybrid Cohort A- 2:00-2:30
