TOMORROW, FRIDAY OCTOBER 30, will be our COSTUME PARADE and CLASS PARTIES! Please review the reminders below!


🎃 Parents and families are welcome to watch the costume parade! It will begin at 2:30pm and should last about 15 minutes. You may park behind the school, or across the street at the church. PLEASE DO NOT PARK OR DRIVE ON THE GRASS!

🎃 The weather forecast looks great, so we should be able to parade in front of the school! You can gather anywhere in the front of the building.

🎃 Please do NOT send students to school wearing their costumes. They will have time to change before the parade begins.

🎃 NO full face masks and NO weapons, please. Inflatable costumes are ok!

🎃 Once the parade ends, students will return to their classrooms for their fall parties. Class party volunteers have been notified by the PTO.


If you would prefer your child NOT participate in the parade or party, please let your child's teacher know. We will provide an alternate activity for them.

Dear Parents and Guardians,


With the changing weather and seasons come increased risk of communicable disease and illness! Our school clinic wants to assure you that your child's health, safety, and well-being remain our highest priorities. We know that seasonal bugs - from common colds and stomach viruses to the flu - can bring unexpected stress, but please trust and believe that our health team is prepared to keep our school safe, supported, and thriving!


We are working closely with staff and local health guidelines to maintain clean environments, monitor symptoms, and provide compassionate care to students who feel unwell. You can help keep our school community healthy by keeping students home when they show symptoms like fever, persistent cough, or upset stomach, and encouraging frequent handwashing at home. Thank you for your ongoing partnership and trust as we navigate this season together! If you have any questions or health concerns regarding your student, please don't hesitate to reach out to the school clinic.


Stay well! Thank you!

Mrs. Park and Mrs. Kolenich

Clinic phone: 440-286-0490
