Good Afternoon, Eagles!
As a reminder, tomorrow, Friday, October 30, is Dollar Dress Down Day! Students who wish to participate musty pay $1 to dress down for the day.
Please remember that there is a difference between dressing down and dressing appropriately. All students are expected to follow school dress code guidelines, even on dress-down days. Ripped jeans with holes in the thigh area, extremely short shorts, and revealing clothing remain unacceptable.
While we want students to enjoy the freedom to express themselves through their clothing, we must continue to maintain a safe, respectful, and appropriate learning environment for everyone.
We look forward to seeing everyone's creative outfits as we head into Halloween weekend! Have fun, stay safe, and remember to always represent the Eagle Way!

Good Afternoon, Eagles!
We are excited to let our students know that they may wear costumes to school on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, as we celebrate our Costume Parade and Trunk or Treat!
We want students to have fun and enjoy the day, but we also want to make sure that costumes do not interfere with learning or create safety concerns. Please review the following guidelines with your student before sending them to school in costume.
🎃 Costume Guidelines
All costumes must be school-appropriate and follow our regular school expectations.
🚫 No Blood or Gore
Costumes may not include realistic or excessive blood, gore, wounds, or other graphic imagery.
🚫 No Weapons or Items That Appear to Be Weapons
Toy weapons, fake weapons, or props that could reasonably be mistaken for a weapon are not permitted, including swords, knives, guns, axes, or similar items.
🚫 No Masks Covering the Entire Face
Students must remain identifiable throughout the school day. Full-face masks or costumes that prevent staff from easily identifying a student are not permitted.
🚫 No Excessively Scary or Inappropriate Costumes
Costumes should be appropriate for an elementary/middle school setting. Costumes that are excessively frightening, contain inappropriate images or language, or are otherwise disruptive will not be permitted.
🚫 No Costumes That Interfere With Learning
Students need to be able to sit, walk, participate in class, and complete their schoolwork safely. Costumes that are excessively large, difficult to manage, or create a significant distraction may need to be removed or modified.
🚫 No Excessive Makeup or Face Paint
Makeup and face paint should be kept school-appropriate and should not interfere with a student's ability to see, eat, participate in class, or be identified by staff.
👟 Shoes Must Be Safe and Appropriate
Students should wear appropriate footwear that allows them to safely walk, participate in activities, and navigate the school grounds. Please avoid costumes that require unsafe footwear.
🎒 Keep Accessories to a Minimum
Students should not bring unnecessary props, accessories, or items that could become a distraction or safety concern. Please remember that school rules still apply even when students are in costume.
👻 Let's Have Some Fun!
Our goal is to make Wednesday a fun, memorable, and safe day for our Eagles! We encourage students to be creative and have fun with their costumes while remembering that school is still in session and learning remains our priority.
If a costume does not meet these expectations, the student may be asked to remove or modify the costume. We appreciate your help in reviewing these guidelines with your student before Wednesday.
We can't wait to see our Eagles' creativity and school spirit!
Go Eagles! 🦅🎃
