Trunk-or-Treat
- We need volunteers willing to decorate car trunks for the event and hand out candy. You would need to be in the parking lot from 4:30-6:00 pm for safety reasons.
- We need families to donate bags of candy. Two years ago we went through 200 lbs of candy. Please start sending candy in now.
- Check out the pictures from our event two years ago for ideas.
- We will not open the event until 5:00 pm. Sunset is at 5:43 pm that night.
If you are interested in setting up a trunk, please email me at jmccrevan@lowell.k12.ma.us

Outside Lunch
COVID INDOOR LUNCH ADJUSTMENTS
If weather forces us to eat indoors (Until October 29th):
- Grades 1, 3, and kindergarten will eat in the cafeteria. Students in CSA with inclusion time for lunch will also eat in the cafeteria.
- All other classes will eat in their classrooms.
At the end of October, we will switch this up to give other grades an opportunity to eat in the cafeteria.
COVID-19 Testing - You MUST SIGN UP EACH YEAR
There is a significant amount of prep work to make sure the testing is accurate. Pools are made on Fridays for the following week. If you sign-up after Monday, your child may be delayed a week when starting testing. Our second pool will have 85 samples.
Please let us know if there is a positive COVID case in your household!
