Tomorrow, October 31, is Halloween and yes, students may dress in costume. Halloween is a normal school day and students are expected to attend classes and participate in classes just like any normal school day. There ARE a few guidelines that must be followed:
Items to keep at home:
Fake weapons (knives, swords, guns, etc.)
Masks
Fake blood
Inflatable costumes or accessories
Face Paint (Small decorations on the face are fine, full face paint is not allowed.)
Our students are very creative and we look forward to seeing how they dress up! Here are more detailed guidelines that Mr. Van Fleet has shared in previous weeks.
Picture Retakes are this week on Wednesday, November 2 during student lunch time.
We have paper packets in the Main Office that students may pick and bring with them to the retakes.
If you prefer to order pictures online, you may do so by going to Dorian Studios, searching for Fowler Middle School, Tigard, OR and choosing retakes.
Finally, if you have already paid for pictures, but were not pleased with them, please send the package with your student and have them take it with them to lunch and give it to the photographer when they get their picture retaken.
