Southern Boone Elementary

Our first month of school went well at the elementary. Students have been engaged in learning and having fun at school. 4th grade has been excited about their solar oven project. 3rd grade has done a wonderful job transitioning to the elementary and are showing they know how to be well-behaved Eagles at the elementary!

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us.

Costumes

*Costumes should depict characters that are fun and lighthearted; no blood or weapons are allowed.

*Masks are acceptable for the students, but no makeup.

*Children must be able to put on and take off costumes by themselves, for the most part

over school clothing.

*Adults that dress up should be in good taste and should avoid wearing masks, as to

not scare any of the students.

*Children are NOT required to dress up.

Treat Guidelines

*No homemade foods.

*All foods, with exception of fruits and vegetables, must come to school in their original

container and include an ingredient label.

*Foods must be served with gloved hands by an adult.

*Drinks must not include soda or energy drinks.

*Students cannot have suckers at school.

*Do not send items that must be placed in refrigerator or freezer, as our space is limited.

• If a student is leaving school early from a party, they must have parent permission and be signed out of school.

• Parents will be sent to parties once party time starts. The room parent may set up 15 minutes prior to the party. This is to protect instructional time.

• Birthday treats must be served AFTER lunch.
• Birthday treats cannot be homemade, they must have an ingredient label.

We will have fire truck visits on Friday, October 14th, 2022 in conjunction with fire safety week!
