COLD WEATHER
As the weather changes, please be sure that your child wears appropriate clothing for the changing temperatures. We go outside for recess if the temperature is above zero degrees with the windchill. Physical education classes are often outside and teachers take students outside throughout the day.

Costume & Party Guidelines: Students should bring costumes in a bag. Costumes must be appropriate for school. Costumes should not be violent or scary in nature. No blood, guts, or weapons. No masks. Make-up is discouraged because it is difficult to apply. No bare midriffs or scant clothing. Students may be asked to remove or put away any parts of costumes based on teacher judgment.
Room Parents who are assisting with the parties should not wear disguises that would make it difficult to recognize them as a safe person
Only Room Parents may attend the classroom parties and assist students
Room Parent Guidelines:
No more than 3 room parents per classroom may attend the party. (Others may assist outside of school with preparations or goody bags). Sign-up for Room Parents was completed through our PTO in September.
Lead Room Parent: Work with the classroom teacher & other room parents on activities/games for the party
Lead Room Parent: Coordinate with the teacher & other room parents on any non-edible goody bags to be sent home. No food treats will be eaten during the party or sent home.
Complete the D303 volunteer form for this school year 2023-2024. If you have never had your ID/drivers license scanned at the school, it is very helpful to have that done prior to the party. Stop by the office at your convenience.

Belonging Monthly Checks
Each month on or about the last attendance day of the month (For this month 10/30) we will give students a 4-5 question quick check on the topic of belonging through their Class Link app. Our goal of this survey is to provide/review data on how we are doing with our strategic priority of belonging.
