Welcome Fall!
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Thank you for taking the time to read our Creekside Connections newsletter!
We loved seeing all of the beautiful smiles around the school for picture day! We are looking forward to seeing even more smiles at Parent Teacher Conferences on October 5 and 6! Thank you for making time to meet with your students and their teachers to celebrate accomplishments and look ahead to future goals. We are excited to highlight all of the things our students are learning.
Thank you for reminding your children to walk their wheels on school property. There are a lot of blind spots in and around the parking lots and on the street in front of the school. It is difficult for drivers to see our students when they dart into the street on their wheels. Please also take the time to remind them about cross walk safety- looking both ways, and making eye contact with the driver before crossing.
My own children are already working on their Halloween costumes. As your children start to plan their costumes for Halloween, please make sure they follow the guidelines listed below in this newsletter. We are excited to see what they come up with.
Stay Connected!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Geisler
Creekside Foodie Fundraiser is Here!
Thank you for your support!
Halloween
Expectations:
- No weapons or fake weapons
- No masks
- No face paint of any kind
- No costumes that display words, images, or content that violate district or school policy
- If students are not in compliance, parents will be called and student will be brought to the office to change what's not in compliance (or have parent pick up, depending on offense)
District Guidelines for Halloween:
- Be Respectful: Avoid stereotypes. Be racially sensitive and culturally appropriate. Students may not dress up as an ethnic or cultural groups (i.e., a Mexican, a Geisha, a Native American, etc.). Skin color must not be altered in any way.
- Be Responsible: Recognize that students in a wide age range will see the costumes. Costumes should be family friendly. Masks may not be worn. Costumes may not be gory or threatening. No make-up is allowed.
- Be Safe: No hand-held accessories real or pretend (i.e., wands or weapons) are allowed. Crown or hats may be worn.
- Be Kind: Costumes should be fun and exciting, not political, or offensive.
- Be Understanding: Students may dress up as fictional characters if they follow the above guidelines.
- Be Timely: All celebrations should be limited in time and held at the beginning or end of the school day.
- Dressing up as Pocahontas or other Native American Leaders is inappropriate. Culture is not a costume. In respect to the Native American view, please advise students to refrain from dressing up as Native Americans (i.e., Pocahontas, Sacagawea, Sitting Bull, etc.). This is cultural appropriation and is unacceptable.
Thank you for taking the time to ensure students are following the guidelines with their costumes. We want to make sure that we maintain a fun and appropriate environment for all students. We also want our celebrations to be a positive experience that leads to a building up of community rather than division. These guidelines were shared with our school's Community Council and approved.
We will continue with the tradition of having a Halloween Parade. To limit distractions and ensure learning continues, the parade will be limited to students and staff only.
We love our custodians!
