Scholastic Book Fair
Our Fall Scholastic Book Fair was a great success. Thank you to all who volunteered and supervised students. Every Grant student was given a certificate to buy books at the Book Fair. This gesture from the PTA ensured that no one was left out and was able to buy something from the Book Fair. Once again, much love to our PTA for bringing books to our school and promoting the love for reading!

Halloween Costumes
In response to numerous requests, the San Lorenzo Unified School District has reexamined its practices regarding Halloween attire at schools. After consulting with the district’s board, leadership, families, faculty, and staff, we have established the following guidelines. Our goal is to honor the desire to participate in a special day without disrupting the educational program.
Students and staff are invited to participate in a voluntary costume day on October 31. Please review the following guidelines to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all.
For students and employees who choose not to wear a costume, we encourage you to show your school spirit by wearing pajamas or school colors.
Costume Guidelines:
- Student Costumes must be worn all day and are worn at your own risk. The school and district are not liable for any damage to costumes that may occur.
- Costumes should be practical for everyday school activities, including sitting in class, recess, and independent bathroom use (e.g., no inflatable costumes).
- No scary, bloody, or gory costumes are allowed.
- Avoid disruptive items such as fake weapons, props, or accessories that might interfere with learning. This includes but is not limited to, wands, lightsabers, swords, wings, and items that make noise or light up.
- No masks or face paint are permitted.
- Footwear must be school-appropriate.
- Costumes should be respectful of all cultures and groups.
If you’re unsure whether a costume or accessory is appropriate, please contact the school administration before October 31. Any clothing, decoration, or items that violate these guidelines may result in a request to change clothing or the confiscation of prohibited items.
Thank you for helping us ensure a safe and enjoyable day for everyone while maintaining focus on learning!
