Halloween & Alternative
As always, this year, the middle school will host our annual Halloween costume contest on Monday, October 31, 2022. Students who celebrate Halloween are encouraged to wear costumes and a panel of judges will evaluate costumes from each homeroom and declare a winner in each grade! Additionally, and for the first time, the middle school will host an alternate Autumn-themed crafting activity in the library for those who do not celebrate Halloween or who wish not to attend the costume contest assembly at the end of the day.

Vaccine Clinic
The student flu vaccine clinic is on Oct. 25th. There is no cost to families. Information and the consent form are linked here: Student Flu Vaccine Clinic. You may contact your child's school nurse to request a paper consent form. Please complete your child’s registration no later than Oct. 21st. Please let the nurse know at least one day prior to the clinic if you would like to cancel your child's appointment.
Health Screenings
Health screenings for 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade students will take place in the nurse’s office and in the gym area starting next week. Health screenings are done annually. Health screenings include vision and growth assessments for all grades and hearing assessments for 7th. All passed vision, hearing, and growth results will be communicated via the Health Portal. (Parents of students who do not pass vision screenings will continue to be notified by US mail or by phone.) In lieu of the school screening, parents may choose to provide a current vision or growth report from their child’s private doctor. Please contact the school nurse's office with any questions or concerns. If you would like a paper copy of your child’s health screening results, please notify me at zakieh_moussa@sdst.org. The requested results will be sent home via backpack unless you indicate a preference for U.S. mail.
