It was a fun week with Spirit Days and celebrating Red Ribbon Week, pledging to be drug-free. We will be culminating the fun at our Halloween Rally on October 31st. Please be sure to read through our Halloween costume protocols so that your student can wear their costume and enjoy all the fun. This week was also our Redemption Week where students were able to cash in their hard-earned Proudgrams to Spin the Wheel for a $5 gift card, have a pizza party with a friend, and other fun prizes.

We hope your weekend is filled with fun and laughter and that you are enjoying the fall weather.

As always, thank you for all of your support,

Your Admin Team

Price is a fun place to be on Halloween! Students, teachers and staff all dress up to celebrate the occasion. A celebratory rally will also take place. To ensure we all have a fun time, please have your student adhere to the costume rules.

Halloween Costumes:

* Make-up or face-paint is permitted

*Regular school rules regarding the dress code must be followed (ie, clothing must be free of profanity and may not advocate the use of drugs, tobacco, alcohol, or gange affiliation.)

* Masks may only be worn during the parade.

* Costumes may not be violent or suggestive

* Costumes may not have props or accessories that could be used as weapons (ie, water pistols, fake knives, or swords.)

* Students must show respect for others by not choosing costumes that are insensitive and/or offensive to the diverse backgrounds represented by others at our school.

A reminder that we do not accept drop-offs at school, which includes items like homework, shoes, Chromebooks, food, and PE clothes. Our goal is to encourage students to take responsibility for their own belongings and schoolwork.

To support this, each class is equipped with two loaner Chromebooks for students to use, PE provides loaner clothes and shoes when needed, and all students are eligible for free brunch and lunch.

We appreciate your help in fostering this sense of responsibility in our students. Thank you for your understanding!

Thank you to everyone for continuing to help keep all of our students safe on their way to and home from school. Just as a reminder to continue to follow all of the parking lot safety measures to ensure all of our students and families are safe.
