Our Halloween Parade will take place on Tuesday, Oct 31 from 1:30-2:30 (will likely take much less time). Parade route will start on the north blacktop, go north on 500 West, turn west on 400 North, turn back toward the school on 600 West, then be done at the flagpole. The police will block off all traffic with cones, etc. Drivers will still have access to the parking lots on the east and west of the building. Costumes must conform to the following requirements: The costume must adhere to student dress standards of modesty---covering the shoulders, midriff, back, chest, and legs properly. No weapons—not even toy ones as it violates our safe school policy. It must not interfere with the child’s ability to learn (for example, too big to sit at a desk, itchy makeup, etc). If they have an inflated one please make sure they know how to get in and out of it for the parade, as they can not wear it in the classroom. We hope you are able to join us and sit or stand around the block to see your child. Have a fun and safe Halloween!

The lost and found will be donated on Monday. If you have a chance to go through it at the Harvest festival tonight, that would be great! It is located just outside of the office doors. Thank you

STEM Harvest Festival at North Elementary is this Friday, October 27th. It starts at 5pm. There will be food trucks and treats to buy. Please bring cash to make purchasing raffle tickets and treats easier. You are welcome to wear school appropriate costumes. Come and enjoy fun activities by the teachers at North!

Awareness Week is this week!
