Important Information

1. We will be having a school-wide Halloween celebration on Wednesday the 31^st.  All students are able to wear their costumes for the day and we ask that they are fully dressed and have all the makeup they need on them before coming to school.

PLEASE NOTE:  If your child’s costume has a weapon (ie: sword, knife, etc., please keep it at home.  In the past we have had these accessories get broken or go missing followed by tears.  Please save them for Halloween night!)

We will also be collecting money for UNICEF if you would like to donate.

2. On Friday, November 2^nd we will be ending our fun-filled Halloween week with the movie Monster’s Inc.  It is rated G.  Should you have any concerns, please let us know as soon as possible.

3. Each morning when students enter the classroom, there is an activity for them to work on.  Some days, we are able to finish these activities, other days we are not.  Please do not feel the need to finish this work and return it to school.  Any crucial activities will be finished during the day.  These morning jobs are meant as an extension or review of what we are working on.
