Owl's Nest
October Family Newsletter
This month’s focus is Respect. One way to think about Respect is “seeing value in all people and things & treating them with care.” Many people feel Respected in different ways. We hope this month inspires discussions with your family about what Respect means to you and how you can practice it together! Respect is 1 of 3 traits we will focus on throughout the year that helps students Be Kind. Across grade levels, students will be developing skills like perspective-taking, conflict resolution, and leadership.

Students will be allowed to wear Halloween costumes on Thursday, October 31st.
COSTUME GUIDELINES
- Costumes are to be in good taste and follow the school dress code in the Student Handbook. No bloody or gory costumes.
- Masks are not to be worn except during the parade, as they may create a safety hazard.
- Avoid costumes with big, baggy sleeves and skirts to avoid tripping. Shoes are to be safe and sturdy. Mother’s high heels are not acceptable.
- Swords, pitch forks, guns, bows and arrows, etc., (no weapons or toy weapons). They will not be permitted.
There will be a parade around Eagle Rock for students. We expect all Eagle Rock students to adhere to the guidelines and parents to monitor their children’s costumes for compliance. Halloween should be a fun time. We want the children to have a safe and happy Halloween.
