Fourth graders had the opportunity to have a hands on learning experience at the Looking Glass River.  Volunteers, including retired DPS teachers, helped to make this experience possible for our students.

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.

If you are interested in supervising our students during lunch, we would love to have you join our team!
