School News and Information

Thank you to all the families who made it out to conferences this week.  We certainly appreciate your partnership!  A big shout out to our Bogan PTG for organizing the meals for staff!

 

As the weather starts to get cooler, please send in a sweatshirt or coat with your child. Some grades have a recess in the morning when it is pretty chilly out still.  Please label coats with your child’s name.

 

Halloween- October 31, 2023

We will celebrate Halloween on Tuesday, October 31, 2023.  Costumes will be permitted with the following guidelines:

1. No Costume Masks

2. No Props

3. Minimal Makeup

4. Costumes must be worn to school.  There will not be a “change time”.  Please make sure that your child will be able to function comfortably throughout the day (bathroom needs, recess, school work, specials) while wearing his/her costume.

We will have our, “parade” outside at 8:05.  If it is raining, we will go with an inside walk through the bottom level of Bogan.
