• Our Parent/Teacher Cooperative (PTC) is hosting a “Halloween Howl” this Thursday, October 26th from 6-7pm.   This is a Halloween themed dance for students and family members.  Everyone is welcome to come dressed up (we just ask that costumes are family friendly please). 
  
  All students must come accompanied by an adult, and are not permitted to hang out outside (ie. on the playground) without adult supervision.
  
  We are not serving food at this event, so we encourage you to have supper before you come.

• There is no school for students on Friday, October 28th. It is provincial Conference Day across Nova Scotia. 

Halloween is quickly approaching.  Students and staff are permitted to wear costumes on Halloween day (Tuesday, October 31st), but here are some important reminders:

• Costumes must be school appropriate.  No masks or weapons please.  
• We recommend saving your more elaborate costumes for home so that they do not get damaged, soiled or parts lost at school.
• Please check with the classroom teacher to see if they have any special requests. Each teacher may need to make individual decisions based on the specific needs of students in their room.
• Please do not send in treats to share unless the classroom teacher has requested it.

FYI’s:
Links to the Nova Scotia Curriculum documents can be found here.

Thanks everyone.  Have a great week.  
Mrs. Wolfe and Mrs. van der Weegen
