Looking Ahead to Halloween
We are looking forward to celebrating Halloween at Eastview on Thursday, October 31st. Please see the below information regarding student costumes and the Halloween parade. Please refer to your teacher’s guidelines for any classroom-specific events.
Costumes:
Please use good judgment when selecting costumes for school.
Costumes depicting violence are not appropriate in a school setting.
Students should not bring masks that may obstruct their view while at school
Students should not bring makeup, or hair dye to school.
Weapons may not be a part of any costume (including swords, sticks, guns, etc.)
Parade:
Weather permitting, we will parade outside the school beginning at 9:00. Parents should stand on the blacktop or along the grass in front of the building. If it is raining, we will parade inside, and we will not be able to host parents.

Thank you
The Eastview PTO wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for your generous support of our recent bingo & silent auction fundraiser. Thanks to your commitment—whether through attending or donating—we were able to surpass our goal of $3000, and raised just over $4,000! This achievement would not have been possible without your involvement.
Your contributions play a vital role in helping us reach our goals and support our school. Every dollar raised from this fundraiser will go directly towards the rock wall rental for PE class, and any leftover funds will go towards a future assembly for the school. We are truly grateful for your generosity and dedication.
Once again, thank you for being an essential part of our success. We appreciate your continued support, and we look forward to seeing you at future events!
Warm regards,
Eastview PTO

Donations Needed for Trunk or Treat
Hey Eastview Families!
As we gear up for our exciting Trunk or Treat event, we’re reaching out to ask for your support in making this a fantastic night for the kids and our community.
We’re in need of donations for candy, raffle items, and gift cards. If you have any fun items or experiences you’d like to contribute for us to raffle off, we would greatly appreciate it! Also, we’re looking for themed gift baskets like a movie night, coffee lovers, game night enthusiasts, and even sports memorabilia to spice up our raffle. All money raised will go towards the teacher dinner that is held during parent-teacher conferences.
Every little bit helps make this event a success, so if you can donate anything, please let us know! You can drop off items at the school or reach out if you’d like us to pick them up. Eastviewelementarypto@gmail.com
Thanks for being such an awesome community, and we can’t wait to see everyone at Trunk or Treat!
Best,
Eastview PTO
Still Looking for Parents and Businesses to Host Our Trunk or Treat
We currently have 12 cars signed up for our upcoming Trunk or Treat event on October 24th. We;d like to get to at least 20. This is a fantastic opportunity for our community to come together for some Halloween fun. We will be having a raffle again this year, along with limited snacks and activities that will be available for purchase.
We’re inviting our Eastview families and friends to sign up to decorate their cars and hand out candy. We expect to have 200-250 kids this year, so the more cars we have, the better the event will be! It’s a great way to show off your creativity and enjoy a fun evening with our school
community.

EVERYDAY REMINDERS
How to Notify the Office When Your Student will be Absent
In the event your child will be absent, please email attendance.eastview@D300.org or call 847.532.7420 to report the absence. To ensure timely notification of your student's absence, it is important that you use this email address and/or phone number as the primary way to report absences. This will help eliminate any missed information in the event a teacher or staff member is out of the building. If your student will be absent for more than two days, please complete a Pre-Arranged Absence Form, and drop it off or email it to the office. Students that are missing school for a doctor or dentist appointment, or for therapy, should provide a note from the doctor/therapist when they return to school.

Birthday Book Club
Help celebrate your student's birthday by making a donation to the Eastview library. When a donation is made, students will get to select a book that will be added to our library. The book will have a special book plate put in signifying that this book was donated by your student.
