Happy October, Chisago Lakes Primary Families!
Last week, it was wonderful to meet with so many of our families during conferences! The opportunity to connect and share the great progress your students are making is always a highlight. As we look ahead, please be sure to read the PTO section for important details regarding fundraiser pickup on Tuesday, October 29th, at Lakeside.
Halloween is just around the corner, and the excitement is building! Students are eagerly preparing for the fun, so please remember that costumes should be fun, not scary. Look for information from your child’s classroom teacher about whether costumes should be brought or worn to school. We can't wait to capture all the smiles and share plenty of photos with families at home!
Have a great weekend!

Halloween Costumes
Students are already talking about costumes they are dreaming of wearing for Halloween on Thursday, October 31st. Stay tuned for details about the day.
As students think about creating, making, or getting costumes, please make sure to help your student keep it "Primary Appropriate." We want Halloween to be fun, not scary. Here are some guidelines we're asking everybody to follow:
No weapons of any kind should be brought to school- even fake weapons that are accessories to a costume.
No face paint or hair coloring spray- the custodians will already have a monumental cleaning task after the kids head home.
No gore: Blood guts, etc.
Students wearing costumes that do not follow the items listed above will need to change out of their costume. Thank you for helping us keep this a fun, not scary event at school.
