November 25-26

Monday is a full day of school. We will continue with reading groups.

Tuesday is a half day with release at 12:10.

There is no school Wednesday - Friday.

Ancient Greek day is Tuesday 11/26!

Please consider signing up to contribute supplies or volunteer your time to 
make this a great day for second grade!


Scholars may dress up for Ancient Greece day as their favorite Greek god or goddess, 
or as a mortal Greek citizen. Please keep in mind the following guidelines: 
  • Students do not need to wear their uniforms under their costume if their costume 
    meets the same criteria we listed for Literary Character Day:
1. Shoulders need to be covered. No tank tops, sleeveless shirts, or spaghetti straps, please. 
2. Bottoms (dresses, skirts, or shorts) should be no shorter than two inches above the knee.
3. Athletic shoes are still required. They do not have to be white. No sandals, flip-flops, or heels. 
If your child's costume meets these requirements, they do NOT need to wear their uniform 
underneath. If your child's costume doesn't meet these requirements, they need to wear 
their uniform underneath. Anyone not in compliance will need to call home and have a 
change of clothes brought to them or wear a loaner pair provided by the nurse.  
**If you are on the fence, feel free to send your child to school with a uniform in their backpack.
  • If students have a weapon as part of their costume (a trident for Poseidon, or 
    bow and arrow for Artemis, etc.) please make sure that it is cardboard or plastic, 
    and inform the student that they will have to keep it in the back of the classroom 
    for the entirety of the morning. 
  • Scholars should be able to do normal activities for the morning portion of school 
    and be undistracted by the costume as much as possible.
