Peace Week 2024

Once again we are integrating a service project into Peace Week. Lower Campus is partnering with Friends of Refugees in Clarkston. The organization’s mission states, “Help refugees build abundant new lives in America.” In order to accomplish this, one of their greatest needs currently is to replenish their stock pile of baby diapers and baby wipes. Therefore, we will collect unopened packages of baby diapers (any size, any brand) and baby wipes (any brand). Please send them in with your child(ren) any day next week.

Thursday, October 31

We are permitting students to wear a costume to school on Thursday, October 31, with the following guidelines. The costume must not contain a mask, props, loose articles, be gory or violent in nature, or have any other aspect that could disrupt the classroom learning environment. We know, of course, that many costumes come with additional items, just please leave them at home. Costumes are optional; students may wear their uniform or spirit wear instead.

LC Nurse

Please keep in mind that if your child has a fever they cannot return to campus for 24 hours following the resolution of the fever (without the use of fever reducing medications). If a child vomits, they cannot return to class for 24 hours following the last time that they vomited. Please know that if a child that was sent home by a nurse and returns to school the following day, and it has not been 24 hours, arrangements will be made for them to be sent home. This is in alignment with DeKalb County School District guidelines. If you have any questions, please reach out to Nurse Kate. Thank you for your partnership as we work to maintain a healthy learning environment.

Fall Sports Picture Day tomorrow, Thursday, October 24

Tomorrow we will be taking team pictures of all the fall sports teams, including volleyball, cross country, ultimate, soccer (inc. Coach Drew's YMCA girls soccer team). If you are in any of these 2024 fall sports teams, or in Orchestra, please remember to bring your uniform.

Spirit Week and Thursday, October 31

Next week we will be celebrating Peace Week with different Spirit Days at UC. Students may dress up on Thursday, October 31, for Decades Day. No other costumes will be permitted.
