Eggert Extra

Dear Eggert Families,

Fall is in full swing at Eggert, and we're enjoying the beautiful weather, changing leaves and all the excitement this time of year brings. 🍂

As the weather gets colder, students will continue to enjoy outdoor time whenever possible. Please be sure your child comes to school dressed appropriately for the weather, including a warm jacket, as temperatures can change throughout the day.

With Halloween approaching, please keep the following costume guidelines in mind:

• Costumes should be school-appropriate and allow students to move comfortably throughout the day.

• No weapons, including toy weapons or costume accessories that resemble weapons.

• Masks and accessories that cover students’ faces should be left at home.

• Costumes should not interfere with learning or create distractions in the classroom.

Classroom Halloween celebrations will be communicated directly by your child’s classroom teacher, including any specific plans or details.

A special thank you to our PTO for hosting an amazing breakfast for our teachers and staff. Your support and appreciation brightened a dreary Friday morning.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support. We love seeing our students learning, growing, and enjoying all that fall has to offer!

Warmly,

Jackie and Lindsey

Looking Forward:

🎃 Trunk or Treat – October 23rd
We are looking forward to a fun evening for our Eggert families! Please consider sending in a bag of candy to help your child's grade level win the Trunk or Treat Contest. Thank you to our Wellness Committee and everyone who helps make special events like this possible. We hope to see many of you there!
