To promote a safe and secure indoor school environment, create an inclusive atmosphere for all students, and to reduce distractions for the duration of the school day, the following school celebration guidelines will be followed: 

• Classroom celebrations will be kept to one hour. 

• We encourage healthy snacks and alternatives to food to support allergies and our wellness policy.  Some classrooms may have a “no food” policy due to allergies.

• Only volunteers and party classroom coordinators may be allowed in the classroom to help support classroom celebration activities per individual teacher request/classroom needs.  There will be 3-5 parent volunteers per classroom.

• Volunteers and party classroom coordinators may not bring any additional guests including siblings (of any age), relatives, etc.  

• Volunteers and classroom coordinators must complete the I-Chat Form and be cleared if they at any time are going to work with students independent of where the classroom teacher is.

• Halloween/Fall Celebration Specific: 

  • All students will have an opportunity to wear a costume at school.  

  • Simple costumes may be worn, but please be mindful of your child's ability to participate in regular school activities throughout the day including PE and recess.

  • Costumes should be tasteful, modest and appropriate for a school environment.  

  • Costumes shall have no representation of violence, horror characters or be scary; no blood or weapons.  

  • Wearing costumes is an opportunity but not an obligation.  Families may choose whether or not their child participates.

  • If your child or you are questioning if a costume is school appropriate, it is recommended to err on the side of caution and choose something else.

• Our car loop begins at 8:20am.  Supervision does not begin until 8:20.  Please do not drop students off prior to this time. 

• Please only drop off students in the carloop area. For their safety, please do not drop off at the road or crosswalk area.

• Signs with classroom teachers names will be posted out front showing where students will stand.  

• Please drop off and pick up students along the painted blue line along the curb. 

• Please utilize the entire length of our “blue drop off line”.  This will help keep our line moving efficiently. 

• During arrival, your students should be ready and prepared to get out of the car by having all their materials gathered and good-byes complete.

• Students being picked up at the end of the day will be released out the front door.  For the first couple of weeks, we encourage you to post a sign with your child's name in the window.  

• As you exit the loop, please follow the right turn only sign. 

Student safety is a top priority.  As a reminder, you will need proper identification each time your child is picked up from school.  Proper identification can include:

• Physical ID (Driver's license) 

• Personal identification by our office staff

• Other identificaiton proof AND answering personal information we have in Infinite Campus (ie: phone number, birthdate, etc.)

Thank you for understanding and helping to keep a safe environment for our students!
