Snacks should be healthy to provide the children with energy for their day. Please send a simple snack such as fruit, vegetables, cheese, and crackers. Please do not send candy as a snack. Juice and milk are not allowed in our classroom. Please do not send any kind of juice box or milk with your child for snack time. The children may have the juice or milk for lunch in the cafeteria.

Home folder

Please make sure to empty the green folders each night! It is very difficult and time consuming to locate important notes when the folder is full of papers from the day before. Remember to initial the communication log each day.

We will be shopping at the book fair at 2:00 tomorrow.

Please send your child’s money in an envelope with their name on it.

The winter weather has arrived.  Please label all of your child’s winter clothing.  If your child wears boots to school, please send in a pair of dry shoes to wear in the classroom. Please practice putting on and taking off boots and dry shoes. If your child can not tie shoes, please send in velco or slip on shoes. Boots may not be worn in the classroom to avoid slippery floors and wet carpet.

Halloween Parade 2019

Dear Haigh Community,

 Each year the Halloween Parade is one of my favorite events at our building. It is soo much fun to see our students and staff dressed up in their costumes! We also enjoy the large crowd that comes to this event to support our students and the smiles that we see on everyone’s face. 

Unfortunately, this year we will have to move the parade inside due to the expected cold temperatures and large amounts of rain. I tried to wait as long as possible to see if the weather was going to change for tomorrow, but it is not looking good. The parade tomorrow will also need to be for students and staff only. Due to our large population at the building, we will not be able to fit families, students, and staff into the hallways at Haigh. Safety is always on my mind and I want to make sure that we are keeping all students and families safe. I also chose to move the parade inside to keep everyone’s costumes in good shape for the evening “trick or treating” and to help keep our students from getting sick. Over the last few weeks we have had “Bingo for Books-Halloween Edition”, the “Halloween Dance”, Donuts and Cider, and class parties all to celebrate the holiday. Although we will not have the outdoor parade tomorrow, I believe our students and staff have had a great time celebrating this holiday. Throughout the year we will continue to have events at our building where our families will be able to come in and join us at the building. Another favorite, “Family Game Night” is coming up at the beginning of December in our Gym and cafeteria. This event is put on by “Learning Gizmo’s” and has been a huge hit in the past! Overall, we hope that everyone has a great evening tomorrow “trick or treating” and that the rain will come to an end soon. Thank you so much for your time,

Sincerely,

Mr. Short

Halloween is just around the corner! We will be celebrating on Thursday, October 31st.  

Here are a few things you should know:

Costumes: This year we are asking that your child come to school already dressed in their costumes. It takes too long for one teacher to dress every single child in the class. Costumes should be school appropriate. This means that your child should be able to get themselves in and out of their costumes by themselves in order to use the bathroom! We do not want any of the children to have an accident because they cannot undo their costume! Please keep this in mind when selecting a costume to wear to school.  Mr. Short has asked that all accessories to costumes be left at home. These items include, but are not limited to, masks, wands, swords, guns, etc.
