Livingston Avenue School

Good Afternoon,

We had an amazing week celebrating Peace Week! The students and staff really enjoyed dressing for the theme each day. Also, Mrs. Rivetti delivered lessons in the classrooms for bullying prevention.

Last call to let us know your plans for your children on Friday, October 30th. We will be holding one lunch hour to allow students to go home to get into costume and return for the festivities. If you have not yet filled in the form, please do so so we can adequately plan seating in the cafeteria as as ensure we have enough adults to assist students with getting into their costumes.

If your child is staying in school, please ensure that they have a relatively easy costume to put on over school clothes. If you have not yet filled out the form, please do so now so that we have a accurate number for students staying for lunch. The parade will take place at 1:05 pm and will follow the same route as years past. The students will come out the third grade (Denman Avenue) door and loop around along Livingston Avenue and enter back in at the playground door so there is plenty of space for our parents and families to view the parade. Please also be reminded that no weapons can accompany costumes for the school parties. Any questions, please ask.

Have a great day!

Cari Lopez

Culture and Climate Corner - October

Across the district, our schools are introducing the Nurtured Heart Approach to students, families and staff. The attached resource provides families with tools and information to build students’ inner strength and confidence - skills that can support respectful relationships, positive connections, help-seeking, mental wellbeing, and healthy choices emphasized in our October SEL Calendar.
