Book Character Day on Thursday, Oct. 31st:
Students and staff have the option to dress like a book character for school! This is a wonderful opportunity for all to share their favorite book or characters with their peers. If your student is participating we ask that their costume or outfit follows our Code of Conduct. Students should not wear masks or bring in toys or accessories, and should make sure their character is school and age appropriate!
Attention Parents! - School Picture Retake Day is November 15th! If your student missed School Picture Day, or wants a Retake, please have them ready for picture retakes that day.
Also, if any families would like assistance in purchasing their child's Picture Day Package, please reach out directly to Mr. McKnight at mcknightp@cantonma.org
