NO HALLOWEEN CANDY
We would like to request that students do not pack Halloween candy with them to school, especially anything containing nuts and/or any nut butter. We want to be respectful of students with food allergies as we’ve had several students suffer allergic reactions this week. For the safety of all our students, please leave the candy at home.
TOUCHBASE EVENT
We will be hosting a Touchbase event on November 6, 2023 from 8:30-10:30 a.m. The event gives you an opportunity to speak with your child’s teacher(s).

There is no need to signup and parents will be seen on a first come first served basis.
