October is a busy month packed with special events. We have already enjoyed Grandparents' Day and recognized Fire Prevention Month with the help of the Ward Township Fire Department. Red Ribbon Week events are planned for the week of October 23-27, and we are certainly looking forward to ending the month of October with our fall parties. Read below for more details.
Art to Remember Orders Due
This is just a reminder for those of you who might still be planning to place an order. Those orders are due tomorrow, Friday, October 20th. Orders can be placed online following the directions on the order form your child brought home. If you have any questions about orders, you can call our office tomorrow.

Fall Parties and Costume Parade
Thank you in advance for your help as we prepare for our annual fall parties.
Our costume parade will begin at 2:15 p.m. We will parade both indoors and outdoors (weather permitting). Guests are welcome to view the parade outside or in the gym. Guests will be required to sign-in at the office. Any guests visiting a classroom to join a class party before the parade must have completed our volunteer form and have a background check on file with our office.
Students may wear a costume to school. They may not bring a costume to change into mid-day. This needs to be something that can be worn all day. Keep in mind that most of the day will be a normal day of school. The costume should be something your child can wear on the bus to and from school if your child rides the bus. As you plan your child’s costume, please keep these guidelines in mind:
Students are not to wear costumes that depict violence, blood, or gore.
Students are not to bring fake weapons such as guns, knives, swords, etc.
Costumes should not be scary. We do have young students in our building.
Costumes should not expose too much skin.
Any snacks must be store bought and individually packaged. They also must include nutritional facts including an ingredient list. Please communicate with your child’s teacher about snacks you’d like to send.
