Congrats Mrs. Sanders and Mrs. Takos for outstanding doors! Also thanks to all of our staff that joined in the fun and took time out of very busy days to go the extra mile and come up with great messages about staying away from Drugs! #redribbonweek #BELIEVE

Dear Parents, Tomorrow is Halloween! We are having our annual Parade of Costumes again this year. The parade will begin around 2:40 p.m. and will be brief and within our hallways. Parents may attend the parade and will be asked to view from the cafeteria. · Halloween Costumes. Students are allowed to wear costumes during the day but we will ask them to leave masks and head coverings in their cubby until the parade. · Face paint, etc. We also ask that students not wear face paint, etc., during the day. · Blowup Costumes or LARGE costumes. Students can bring blowup/large costumes for the parade but they will not be allowed to wear them until the parade. Also, please refer to your student’s teacher guidelines that may have been sent home by note, email, or REMIND.
