Dear Northwood Elementary families,

As the weather turns colder, please remember to send students in weather-appropriate clothing to help keep them warm throughout the day. If your child is missing any items, we encourage you to check our Lost and Found—it's starting to fill up!

We had a wonderful time at our annual Halloween parade! Thank you to all the parents who provided treats and joined us for our Halloween celebration—it made the day extra special for our students.

Thank you to Northwood Elementary PTA for putting on the Scholastic Book Fair for students and their families.

Looking ahead, Picture Retakes are scheduled for November 18th. If you missed the first session or need a redo, this is the perfect opportunity.

This is a quick reminder to not leave your car unattended in the car rider line, as it can cause traffic congestion. Thank you for helping keep our arrival/dismissal process smooth and safe for everyone.

Warm regards,

Miranda Roscoe

Message from School Counselor Mrs. Brunetti

We are wrapping up the Second Step Bully Prevention Unit to help our school be a safe & respectful place to learn. In these lessons, your child is learning specific skills to help stop bullying.

Students are learning how to:

• Recognize when bullying is happening

• Report bullying to a caring adult

• Refuse to let bullying happen to themselves or others

• Be a bystander who stands up and is part of the solution to bullying

Important message about Classroom treats and Parties

We have students who have allergies (some severe) that may develop a reaction, as a result of certain foods being permitted and passed out during special occasions such as birthdays, classroom parties, rewards, etc. This is something the kids love and should be able to enjoy.

However, to keep all students safe, It's imperative that all foods brought from the outside are store bought (not homemade) and have nutrition information on them to check ingredients. If the ingredients aren't available, they may not be distributed.

We have students with all kinds of allergies (peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, dairy, wheat, gluten, etc.). We also have students with medical conditions who can't eat certain foods as well.

Ideally parents should notify the school/teacher at least 24 hours prior to when they bring in treats so that the teacher can check for allergies.

Non-food treats are encouraged, such as stickers, pencils, glow sticks, bracelets and other kid-friendly items.
