Don't forget...the winning trunk gets a prize so don't miss out on an opportunity to support your teachers!
Costumes are not required. Each student will receive a bag to collect their treats as well as two tickets to cast their votes.

We want to start by celebrating our students and all the positive things happening throughout our school! We have been so proud of the positive office referrals coming in this school year. Our students are showing us every day that they can make great choices, work hard, and be kind to others. Be sure to check out our 100s Chart outside the elementary gym as we continue celebrating these accomplishments!
As we continue supporting our students, we would love your help in reinforcing a few school expectations at home. A quick conversation can make a big difference in helping students understand that these expectations apply both at school and with their friends.
Please remind your child that we use safe and appropriate words and actions. This includes not talking about weapons, pretending to make weapons with our hands, or making threats, even when joking or playing. We also encourage students to tell a trusted adult if they hear or see something that makes them uncomfortable or concerned.
We are also encouraging students to keep their hands and bodies to themselves, even during play or horseplay. What starts as playing around can sometimes become too rough and no longer be fun for everyone.
We want our school to be a place where everyone feels valued, so please remind your child to use kind and encouraging words. While joking and “roasting” can sometimes be fun, words can hurt. We want our students to build one another up and make their friends feel good about themselves.
Finally, please remind your child that the bus is an extension of the school day. Safe hands, respectful language, taking care of property, and following directions are important on the bus just as they are at school.
Thank you for partnering with us and helping reinforce these positive habits at home. We are incredibly proud of our students and all the wonderful things they are doing each day. Together, we can continue helping our students learn, grow, make good choices, and be their best!
Thank you for being such an important part of our school community!
