Knowing it is Halloween on Tuesday, October 31, and some families may participate in trick-or-treating, please monitor the amount of candy that is consumed as it may alter our student's behavior. If bags of candy are brought to school, we will ask that the student and parent pick-up the items in the front office after school and be kept at home.
