WORDS TO THE WISE
October Addendum
CELEBRATIONS
Dear Parents and Guardians;
In an effort to maximize instructional time for all students Halloween Costumes will not be worn this year in grades K-5. Due to our change in student population many students do not celebrate this Holiday due to Religious or personal beliefs and are often forced to make the decision to remain home from school on the day we choose to celebrate the Holiday. Teachers have been instructed that Fall crafts and celebrations are appropriate. Students are welcome to wear their costumes to Fall Fest this Saturday from 3-6 at Westowne El. For our PS and PK students information will come directly from classroom teachers regarding individual fall celebrations and the wearing of costumes. As a reminder school will close 3 hrs. early on Friday, dismissal will be at 12:40. Thanks in advance for your understanding, it is our responsibility to meet the instructional needs of all students.
Sincerely,
Principal Palmer
