Halloween Dress Up / Fall Fun Day - October 28th & 29th
Slate Hill will be dressing up for Halloween this year on October 28th and 29th! Students may wear their costume to school or bring a costume that can go over their clothes. We are not allowing costumes with blood, gore, or weapons. Students will not be allowed to do any costume changing in the restroom.
There will be a live Zoom available from each classroom so that students and families can see each other's costumes. The live costume Zoom will be from 2:00-2:45, starting in Kindergarten and moving to 1st grade, 2nd grade, etc. Each classroom may plan Fall/Halloween activities during this time.
We will also have a staff costume contest by grade levels, teams, etc. Each classroom will vote for their top 2 staff groups (but not their grade level). The winner will be announced live on the Zoom!
Student Arrival / Dismissal and Safety Reminders
A few reminders to help keep everyone safe and healthy:
- Please ensure that all students are wearing a mask to school every day (over their nose and chin). All adults that enter the school are also required to wear a mask.
- Please keep in mind that the tardy bell rings at 8:15am. If a student arrives at school after this time, they will need to enter the school through the front of the building to check-in with the office.
- When dropping off / picking up your student(s) in the back of the school, please remember to pull up as far as possible (to the end of the school building) so that we can try to get all cars through the line as safely and quickly as possible.
- For students and families that are on school property after hours, please keep in mind that it is important to social distance and wear a mask.
Community Resources
There is a COVID Care fund where families can apply to receive some financial assistance with bills, etc. Here is the link to the application on their website.
There is also a free store serving families with children ages 0-3 years old, called Bloom. They are open twice a month and have diapers, wipes, and clothes. Check out the bloomfreestore.org website for more details.
