Eastview Update

We will be having our Halloween Parade on Friday, October 31, around 9:10 a.m. We are going to have the students parade through each classroom prior to heading outside for the parents to see. If you are planning on coming to watch the parade that morning, please line up on the sidewalk near the front bus loop and up to the main entrance. We will still start the parade by exiting out of the 4th grade doors and will walk along the front of the building and make our way to the front doors at the main entrance.

**It looks like there is a 60% chance of rain next Friday, but it looks to be later in the day. If there is a slight drizzle, we will still have the parade as scheduled. If there is a heavy rain or thunderstorms at the time of the parade, the parade will be cancelled. There will be a notification sent out if the parade is going to be cancelled.**

Costumes

While students are not required to wear costumes on October 31st, those students who do wish to participate are reminded of the following guidelines:

1. Please choose a costume that does not reflect violence. Inappropriate “props” such as plastic guns, knives, and weapons of any kind are not allowed – even if they are a part of your child’s costume.

2. Students should wear their costume to school.

3. All costumes should maintain the integrity of our school dress code.

Food

As a reminder, Avon Lake City School district has approved specific parties throughout the year that allows food in the classroom. All food must be store bought and pre-wrapped. No home baked goods will be allowed in the class. We also encourage take home treats instead of a food based item: pencils, erasers, stickers etc. If your child has a food allergy, please work with your homeroom parent/teacher to discuss the food options and discuss with your child what they are able to consume.

We will not be accepting any food delivery or coffee delivery services from third party vendors such as DoorDash or Uber Eats. You may still bring food to the building and drop it off for your child and we will make sure they get it prior to their lunch. With parents dropping it off, you are ensuring that you are aware of what is being delivered and it contains no allergens.

During the colder months, we strongly recommend that parents provide hats, gloves, waterproof boots for their children and require them to wear them during recess. Outside temperature and wind chill are taken into consideration to determine outside recess each day during the winter months. If the temperature and wind chill factor is above 20 degrees Fahrenheit, students will be going outdoors for recess. Students will not need to wear snow pants to school. If there is a lot of snow on the blacktop, we will not be going outdoors for recess.

Join Us for the First Annual Shoremen Tailgate Party – Today!

We’re excited to host our very first Shoremen Tailgate Party today from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. behind Eastview! This event will take place rain or shine, so come ready to celebrate and have fun before the big game.

Enjoy a variety of great activities and food, including:
• Food Trucks: Melissa Café, Traveling Tom’s Coffee Truck, and Mini Me Donuts
• Activities: Face painting, two inflatables, and a sign-making station to create posters to cheer on our team!

Inflatables:
• Bounce House – for Kindergarten and 1st Grade students
• Obstacle Course – for 2nd through 4th Grade students
Please note: Children must be supervised by a parent or guardian while using the inflatables. We do not have volunteers available to monitor them, so adult supervision is required at all times.

If it rains, face painting and sign-making will be moved to the gymnasium.

We’re thrilled to celebrate the final football game of the season together—let’s make it a memorable evening filled with community spirit and fun!

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at schingsb@gmail.com.

We look forward to seeing both new and familiar faces today!
