Our school nurse Geri Johnson is asking that parents please update any immunizations in parent portal that your students may have received in the past year. We need to complete a report due to the State of Colorado on 12/1/2016.

A reminder to all parents that our Halloween Dance/Party will be held on Monday, the 31st of October. We will have several different activities, food photo booth, cake walk and dance. Students are not allowed to wear their costumes to school on Monday, we will have time for them to change into their costumes after school before the dance. Again, no bloody or gory costumes, no masks that cover up students faces, no weapons and NO CLOWN costumes.

It is administrator discretion as to whether or not a costume will be allowed. If you have any questions please let us know.

Thanks and a great weekend.
