A message from Mrs. Howard

Week of September 30th

Hello Clear Sky Families!

It is hard to believe that we will be entering October this week! With Halloween coming up this month and with parents selecting Halloween costumes for their children, please refrain from sending your child to school with an overly gorish/scary costume. Because we are an elementary school, some of our younger students may get easily afraid with overly scary costumes. Also, please make sure that costumes do not contain any look-alike weapons. For example, some kids like to dress up like a ninja. Some of those costumes may come with swords or numchucks. Please do not send in those accessories with that type of costume.

We will be having our annual Halloween parade this year. This will take place roughly at 9:15am on Thursday, October 31st. Parents and guardians are welcome to come and watch the parade. We are asking that your child comes to school dressed in their costume and that they bring a change of clothes with them so that they are able to change out of their costumes. Please contact your child’s teacher with any questions or concerns regarding Halloween.

Finally, it has been brought to my attention that some of our students are either being dropped off early or arriving at school early and are unsupervised by their parent/guardian on our playground. We do have our Bison Buddies program here at Clear Sky and they tend to use our playground before school. They are responsible for supervising the students who are enrolled in their program only. While your child is welcome to use the playground before school, they must be supervised by a parent/guardian. Please contact our Main Office at 720-387-5900 with any questions or concerns that you may have. Thank you for your cooperation with this matter.

Thank you for your continued support! Have a wonderful week!

Educationally yours,

Michelle Howard

Clear Sky Elementary Principal

Please remember to bring a photo ID to verify who you are. After 3:45 PM we will not be able to call your child to the office. As teachers are preparing for the end of the day, it causes too much confusion and interruption.
