Students are allowed to dress up at school for Halloween. Elementary students can wear costumes after lunch. We ask that costumes be non-violent and school-appropriate. No student should bring a pretend weapon to school.

Costumes should be brought in a bag and students can change before the parade begins. There will not be time for make-up or hairspray. Costumes should fit over a student’s clothes.

The Arbor View School Store is back! It will be open once a week beginning Wednesday, October 11, through May 15, during the lunch hour for 1st - 5th graders.

Below are some helpful tips for maximizing your student’s school store experience:

• The store will be open most Wednesdays during lunch.

• The evening before, take a look at the school store item list with your child and help them decide which item/s they would like to purchase

• Try to send your child with exact change for the items they want to purchase

• Send your child with exact change and/or no more than $5 for purchases

Thank you so much for your support of the Arbor View School Store!
