Monteith Mini Messenger
October 24th Edition
School starts at 9:05 on Mondays
From the Office
Monteith Tigers,
Friday October 29th is a half day for students dismissal will be at 11:36am
On the 29th we will be celebrating Halloween.
A couple reminders for the day:
Students will be asked to come to school dressed in their costumes and will remain in costumes for the morning.
The classrooms will have celebrations ( more info is given by classroom teachers)
We are only allowed to have 2 room parents per classroom and they are required to wear a mask at all times. Room Parents must enter through the secure entrance (door #1) and fill in a visitor pass.
Costumes should not have weapons or blood on them.
We will have a Halloween Parade outside on the morning of the 29th. If it rains we will cancel the parade.
The parade will begin at 8:45am
ALL Parents/Guardians must remain outside the building for the parade
The parade will come out the front door (Cook Rd.) go down the walk away, up the kindergarten walk way onto the blacktop in the playground and back in the first grade doors.
Parents/Guardians may line up anywhere along that path.
If you have any questions about the plans please contact your child's classroom teacher.
Dismissal
This is a reminder that we can not have dogs on school property at dismissal. We ask that you keep dogs in the car or that you are on the edge of school property lines.
One of the other Elementary Schools just had an incident where a child was bitten at dismissal and we do not want that to happen to any of our students.
***We have become aware of a woman and a man taking pictures/ video during dismissal time on Cook Rd. Members of our and a parent have spoken to the individuals and have asked them to stop. They are neighbors of the school who is concerned about traffic. When asked to stop video taping they did not. We notified the GPW police on Tuesday and they are now sending police to patrol during drop off and dismissal.***
