Principal Pattiey's Post

Here are the Costume Guidelines

A huge, heartfelt THANK YOU to our incredible PTC for a remarkable annual Halloween Festival!

The grounds were beautifully transformed, and everywhere I walked, I saw smiling faces and families having a wonderful time. So much planning, creativity, and hard work went into making this event special, and we are deeply grateful. Special thanks also go to Mrs. Mulsow and the Care Crew from Weimar Hills School, and to Aaron Bosch, our fabulous custodian, who worked diligently to keep everything clean during the festivities. It takes a village, and ours certainly showed up!

We are also nearing the end of our first trimester—already about 30% of the way through the school year! Report cards will come home with students on Friday, November 20, before Thanksgiving break. A reminder that Sierra Hills uses standards-based report cards, which describe the academic skills your child can demonstrate compared with what students are expected to know by June. These marks reflect learning, rather than effort. A child may be working very hard and still be developing a skill—and that is an important part of learning! At this point in the year, many skills are still growing. Please reach out to your child’s teacher with any questions as we work together to support their progress.

It Takes a Village,

Fall is officially here at Sierra Hills! Look for a flyer in your child's walk-home folder about the PTC's Owl-oween Boo-tique Costume Swap, and keep an eye out for the bright orange posters around campus. It's a free way to pass along costumes your kids have outgrown and pick up a "new" one. Donations open October 1 at the school office or Wellness Center. Thank you to our PTC and Wellness Center for bringing this to our families!
