We are going to celebrate Halloween on Friday, October 27th.

• Children should bring their costumes in a bag to school. Costumes should NOT be worn to school.
• Please keep all weapons at home, even if they go with the costume.
• The parade starts at 2:15.
• Families can line the gym and hallway near the office to view the parade.
• Please do not wander down to the classroom before or after the parade unless you have been invited by the teacher.
• If you plan to take your student home after the parade, please come to the office to sign him/her out and we will call your student to the office (do not go to your child's classroom).

Picture retake day is Friday, November 3rd. Make sure to let your child's teacher know if you are wanting retakes. If your child's teacher does not know, then their picture will not be taken.

This form was already filled out by everyone so there is no need to fill it out again. However, it is a reference for the survey we would like you to fill out. The link to the survey is below. There are only 4 questions so it should not take too long.

Bike Club/Recess Edition for SECOND AND THIRD GRADERS ONLY: A couple times a week, children will be able to ride bikes / scooters around the parking lot during recess while supervised by an adult. Mr. Bagley has a dozen donated helmets. IF you would like your child to wear one of these helmets while circling the parking lot at recess, please call the school.

We are seeking input from the community and our stakeholders regarding the Parchment Website and Mobile App. It will only take one to five minutes to complete and the data collected will be used to update the site/app so that it meets the needs of our users. Thank you for your time and feedback.

The survey can be found at this link: http://bit.ly/parchmentweb.
