Please see the below guidelines for Halloween Celebrations this year at Norton Creek

• Students will come dressed in costume to school that day
• Costumes must be school appropriate with no blood, gore, weapons, or face masks
• Halloween masks are not allowed - only our typical masks to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
• There will be no food allowed for parties.

Who is a close contact?

A close contact is anyone (with or without a face covering) who was within 6 feet of a confirmed case of COVID-19 (with or without a face covering), for at least 15 minutes throughout the course of a day. The period of close contact begins 2 calendar days before the onset of symptoms (for a symptomatic person)
or 2 calendar days before the positive sample was obtained (for an asymptomatic person). If the case was symptomatic (e.g., coughing, sneezing), persons with briefer periods of exposure may also be considered contacts. Close contacts to a confirmed case of COVID-19 are required to remain in quarantine at home for 14 calendar days starting from the last day of contact with the confirmed case.

District 303 has specific guidelines on acceptable face coverings while at school.Please click on the link below to read these guidelines.

WELLNESS CLUB IS BACK! (K-5) Laura.halpenny@yahoo.com

The Norton Creek PTO’s virtual Wellness Club is launching next Monday October 19th. Please see MTK for signups and attached flyer below! Our initiative is about integrating healthy food choices, fitness and happiness. The goal is to educate Norton Creek students, so they make better choices which will also improve academic performance. We will be offering a few culinary classes on Zoom and a new “Running Eagles” virtual program. We will provide the members with (1) fitness tracker so they can track their steps and report totals weekly. We utilize a running application called Active 4 Me Running Club that will be able to allow the kids to enter other activity challenges that will convert to laps/miles too. This application also sends personalized reports so they can keep track of their miles earned. This will make it a lot more fun during the winter when we can assign indoor activity challenges and offer a couple Zoom Yoga classes as well. We will still offer small prizes along the way to keep them motivated as well as the end of the year participation medals/trophies based on total miles for the season. There will be a one-time fee of $50.00.
