October 16th - October 20th
Halloween:
2. We only have 15 minutes for costume changes. Please make sure your child can change into his/her costume easily and by themselves. If the costume can be worn over their clothes, then both the time to change and the chances of losing any clothes is minimized.
3. If the costume involves make up, please apply it before your child comes to school. If you send your child in with make up, then your child has to be able to apply it themselves.
4. Please do not send any weapons (guns, swords, etc.) as part of the costume. Save those for trick-or-treating.
5. We will not have time to change back into our clothes for dismissal. Your child will wear their costume home.
Fall Conferences are geared toward meeting with students' homeroom teacher. I look forward to meeting with you on Monday (10/23), Tuesday (10/24), and Wednesday (10/25). Winter Conferences will be geared toward meeting with math teachers.
