Fall Parties and Costume Parade!
All Fall Parties and the Costume Parade will take place on Oct. 31st.
The Costume Parade will start at 1:45 PM, followed by classroom parties.
Parents are welcome to come and observe the costume parade. After finding a parking spot, make your way around to the back of the school near the playground. When the parade starts, all participating students will walk with their classroom teacher past the parent area.
Each Classroom Teacher, along with Room Parents, organize and plan a fun celebration of hard work and learning. Please do not send your student to school with extra food or treats. The teacher ensures that all food is safe and complies with any health or allergy needs in the classroom.
Costume Guidelines:
Students should not wear their costumes to school. They will change before the parade.
Students must be able to put their own costume/makeup on without assistance.
No masks of any kind may be worn.
No costumes and/or make-up may be worn that depicts blood and/or violence.
Students are not to bring anything that resembles a weapon of any fashion, even if it is part of a costume.
No bare midriffs or scant clothing.
Students whose families choose not to celebrate Halloween are encouraged to come to school that day. We will have a fun alternative learning activity organized for them in the STREAM Lab!
New Elementary School Day Update
Thank you to all parents who completed the form that provided us with feedback about the new elementary school day. The District was thrilled to have received over 900 responses. On September 23, parents and staff members who make up the Think Tank met to review research and have a discussion about innovative learning and what it looks like in District 303. In addition, they analyzed the feedback form responses. A summary of the first meeting is available on the District 303 website here. We encourage you to take a moment to read over the summary. We will provide you with additional summaries after subsequent meetings.
