Welcome back from Fall Break! We’re starting 2nd quarter and a district-wide personal electronics policy tomorrow, and we also get to have Halloween this week. Here’s a reminder of our Halloween dress guidelines:
Halloween is a great chance to see the personality and creativity of our students. We want the day to be fun, and we also want to be able to have a productive day in class. With that in mind, what follows is a list of guidelines to help us do both:
- The School Dress Code and the Student Code of Conduct still apply
- Students should come to school already dressed with any makeup or hair color already applied
- Students should avoid costumes that degrade any other group of people
- We must be able to easily see who you are
- Avoid masks worn on the face
- Makeup or other costume additions must still allow us to identify you
- We must be able to move in the halls and function in class, including avoiding disruptions to teachers and other students
- Costumes must be safe, and make others feel safe
- No weapons or facsimiles of weapons
- Footwear must be worn all day
Above all, if you’re aren’t sure you should wear it, just don’t. We can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Tickets for The Wizard of Oz Youth Edition are now available. Tickets are free, but please make a reservation through our ticketing website. Performances are November 14, 15, 16, 18, and 19 at 7:00 PM. There is also a matinee performance on November 16 at 2:00 PM. Doors open 30 minutes before each show. In order to ensure ticket availability for all patrons, please only reserve tickets for performances you plan to attend.
Fee Reminders
If your student is taking a class with a class fee (art, foods, French, etc.), those fees are now visible and can be paid by logging into Skyward. You can also view and pay Registration Fees in Skyward. Lunch balances can be paid in Skyward by going to Fee Management. You can also add money to your student’s account in person, but only via cash or check. You can use a card to pay class and registration fees.
