Red Ribbon Week is here!
The Red Ribbon Celebration is a time to set aside each year to increase awareness about the negative effects of alcohol, tobacco, and drugs and to promote safe and drug free lifestyles for everyone. Windsor Elementary schools will celebrate Red Ribbon Week from October 22-26.
Students will be encouraged to say “NO” to drugs, alcohol, and tobacco. In P.E. we will discuss health topics related to staying drug free. We will have a conversation about self-esteem, consequences, peer pressure, and refusal strategies.
As a parent or guardian, there are many things that you can do to help your student make healthy choices:
- Have an honest conversation with them about drugs, alcohol, and tobacco. Keep it age appropriate and help them say “NO”.
- Set a good example. Try to make good choices. Model eating healthy, exercising, and limiting screen time.
- Talk about “peer pressure” and how to get out of certain situations.
- Get involved in your children’s activities.
- Know their friends, and know where they are going and check up on them.
- Create clear and consistent expectations.
- Talk with them about honesty, trust, and integrity.
The following websites have good information if you want ideas to help keep your children drug free:

Halloween Guidelines
Dear Parents,
Every year we get several phone calls about what kids can and can’t do as far as dressing up for Halloween. It was decided by the staff that we would like to again offer students the opportunity to dress up at school this year. If a student chooses to dress up, the following rules must be adhered to:
No props of any kind may be brought. (This includes swords, weapons, fairy wands, etc.)
Face paint or temporary hair color must be applied at home and not brought to school. (All face paint must be removed by the next school day.)
The complete costume should be worn to school.
No time will be given at school to dress up.
No masks may be worn
Absolutely no gore, blood or fangs.
The student’s costume must be able to allow the student to participate in any school activities that happen during the school day, this includes PE and recess.
When designing costumes please be mindful that we do have preschoolers in our building, we want them to be comfortable and not scared.
If you are volunteering Halloween Day, this includes attending the classroom party, please be sure to follow the above guidelines for costumes and be a good role model for our students. If students follow the above stated rules and things go well in the classroom we will again consider continuing this tradition next year. If we have problems with kids wearing scary costumes, bringing props, or teachers losing teaching time because of costume problems or lack of attention from students, we will not be able to offer this opportunity next year. We need everyone’s help to work hard to make this a successful experience for Skyview.
Sincerely,
Tammy Seib
