Friday - Halloween Activities

On Friday students are invited to come dressed up to school in their halloween costumes. We ask that you follow the following expectations for dressing up for school:

1. No weapons or props at school

2. No masks (this can be a safety concern in the school)

Students will have to turn in their props and remove masks.

Elementary students will participate in a Halloween parade at 11am. Families are invited to join us and even dress up if you would like! Please connect with your child's teacher for any details about classroom activities.

Junior high students will participate in a dance in the afternoon beginning at 1pm.

As Halloween approaches, we know many students enjoy bringing some of their treats to school. To help support healthy habits and maintain a positive learning environment, we ask that families limit Halloween candy in lunches to a maximum of three small pieces per day.

While an occasional treat is part of the fun, consuming too much sugar can affect students throughout the school day. High amounts of sugar may lead to energy spikes followed by crashes, making it more difficult for children to concentrate, stay focused, regulate their emotions, and participate fully in learning activities. Excess sugar can also impact mood, attention, and overall well-being.

By limiting candy and choosing nutritious foods such as fruits, vegetables, cheese, yogurt, and whole grains, we can help students maintain steady energy levels and be ready to learn.

Thank you for your support in promoting healthy habits and creating the best possible learning environment for all students. Happy Halloween! 🎃🍂

Your child should have come home with their picture proof for you to order school photos, if you would like! Retakes will be on November 3 for the whole school.

On October 28th students from Kindergarten to Grade 9 will participate in our Hispanic Heritage Day activities. From dancing to face painting and a delicious bake sale! More information to come.
