This year we’ll be holding a short costume parade for students, along with fun thematic activities in the classrooms. These events will take place on Oct. 31. The parade will take place at 9:15 am. Parents and family members are welcome to attend the parade. Those wishing to attend should gather along the perimeter of the blacktop/field in back of the school. If the weather does not cooperate that day, the parade will be cancelled. The parade lasts about 10 minutes.
Students who would like to dress up are welcome to come to school in costume. Any makeup or hair coloring should be in place before coming to school. Please make sure students’ costumes meet this criteria...
Be respectful: Avoid stereotypes, racially insensitive, or culturally inappropriate costumes.
Be responsible: Recognize that students in a wide age range will see the costumes. Costumes may not be gory or represent violence.
Be safe: No hand-held accessories, like wands or weapons. No inflatable costumes. Worn or attached accessories, like a crown, are okay.
Be kind: Costumes should be fun and exciting, not political or offensive.
Wednesday is the last day to check our lost and found. Items left after Wednesday will be donated.

Hey there, parents! As start this new school year, let’s make sure we’re all on the same page when it comes to those important school policies. 📚
Cell phones and smart watches must be kept in students' backpacks, powered down, and not used during school hours for communication. However, if a child needs to contact a parent, they are always able to use a school phone, with teacher permission. Students who require use of either one for a medical or 504 plan are an exception.
Birthdays are recognized at school by classroom teachers, Principal Bukey, and the PTA. We will not be allowing treats to be brought in from home for student birthdays. This is for the safety of the many students we have with special dietary needs. Thank you for your understanding.
Toys should not be brought to school unless a teacher gives permission for a specific purpose. Resin miniatures, such as the little ducks that are so popular, fit under this policy. They are becoming a disruption in class and some students have even begun selling them on the playground. If your child has a collection of these resin figures, please make sure they keep them at home. They are not allowed at school.
Parents sometimes bring a special lunch in for their child. We ask that the lunches are kept to single servings so that students are not sharing outside food with tablemates.
Let’s spread the word and let’s make this year epic! 🌟
