LOST and FOUND is OVERFLOWING! Please make sure you look for your lost belongings.
Happy Thursday! Please note that tomorrow is a half-day for students. Dismissal is at 11:30am. There will be no swim tomorrow. Students do not need their binders.
Halloween Info: Students may come to school in 'partial' costume, with any hair or makeup already applied at home. Masks are still required with all Halloween costumes. There will be a parade this year at 10:15am. that parents are welcome to watch. Then, students will have a celebration in their classrooms. We are not able to invite parents/families to the parties in the classrooms. Only the organizers/activity coordinators will be in the rooms this year.
