We will not have parent volunteers but we will go Facebook Live at 11 am showing parents all the fun costumes for the day. Costumes must be appropriate for school, students need to come to school dressed in costumes, students must wear a face mask with costumes.

Please Review the Mask Expectation Document
Our mask expectation had changed for the elementary campus.
On Friday, September 25th, Governor Whitmer announced Executive Order 2020-185. This executive order requires all students in grades young 5's and up to wear a face covering in classrooms. Prior orders had recommended, but not required, a face covering for grades kindergarten through five. The executive order officially begins on Monday, October 5th.
