Dear Ivan Green Families:
You may have noticed that this week we are using a different product for our newsletter. We have moved back to Smore, which is a product that is visually appealing, easy to manage, and can be easily translated into multiple languages with online language translation tools. I hope you like it!
Next week is our Socktober event, where students are being invited to follow a theme each day while donating socks, hats, or gloves for a local homeless shelter. The event concludes on October 31 (Monday) with the option to dress in a costume or to dress like you are going to a sock-hop. Dressing up is an option, of course. Students are invited to take the simple way and wear their pod colors in lieu of managing a costume at school. I am sure we will see a range of these options on Monday! See the graphic below for daily themes.
If students decide to bring a costume to school, please adhere to the following guidelines:
- No masks
- No blood or gore
- No weapons
- Costumes should be something your child can put on/take off independently.
Each classroom teacher will set his/her parameters around how they will manage costumes. Many teachers find the costumes to be distracting for an entire day, so they designate a time in the day for costume-wearing.
Sincerely,
Lucas Hiley. Ed.D.
Principal
