Hello North families,

Everyone loves a good scare on Halloween, but not when it comes to the safety of those little trick-or-treaters. Fortunately, there are lots of easy things parents and kids can do to stay safe on the spookiest of holidays.

Hard Facts about Halloween Safety

On average, children are more than twice as likely to be hit by a car on Halloween than on any other day of the year.

Top Tips for Halloween Safety

• Carry glow sticks or flashlights, use reflective tape or stickers on costumes and bags, and wear light colors to help kids see and be seen by drivers.
• Join kids under age 12 for trick-or-treating.
• Slow down and be alert! Kids are excited on Halloween and may dart into the street. Turn on headlights early in the day to spot kids from further away.
• Remind kids to cross the street at corners or crosswalks.
• When selecting a costume, make sure it is the right size to prevent trips and falls.
• Wear a mask to protect from viruses

Have a great and safe weekend.

Sincerely,

Mr. Lugo

Principal

North Elementary

Last Minute Menu Changes

The national food, product and trucking shortages that are impacting stores and restaurants are also impacting our school cafeteria operations.

These shortages can cause our menus to change unexpectedly at the last minute at any specific school and some students have expressed tears, frustration, and anger at these changes.

Please know that we are doing what we can to provide meal options as planned, but families should expect occasional disruptions.

Thank you for your patience as we work to best serve you.
