St. Patrick's Week at a Glance

Halloween is on Thursday, October 31. Students are invited to come to school in a costume. Parents are reminded to ensure that costumes are appropriate, comfortable to wear, and can be worn independently (not requiring adult assistance). They can wear the costume all day.

We ask that students not wear costumes that depict violence or are not school appropriate. Fake weapons/props should not be brought to the school. A reminder for our older students that together we can create a safe environment for all students and to set a good example and think about how costume choice may impact others in the building.

You will receive an email requiring you to fill out a Student Update Form. This will only take approximately 2-3 minutes to complete.
