As we approach the final week of October, here are some important updates and reminders:

Parent Teacher Interviews
Parent Teacher Interviews are scheduled for this week and are by appointment only. If you haven’t yet booked or need help with scheduling, please reach out directly to your child’s homeroom teacher. There will be no school on Friday, November 1, to accommodate these interviews.

Halloween Costume & Dress Options – October 30
On Thursday, October 30, students are welcome to wear costumes following these guidelines:

• No masks or face paint – All students must be easily identifiable for safety reasons.
• No toy or imitation weapons of any kind.
• No extra accessories with the costumes.
• No oversized costumes – Costumes should allow students to sit at their desks comfortably and complete classwork.

If your family does not celebrate Halloween, students are welcome to wear pyjamas instead on Thursday!

Popcorn Day
Our Popcorn Day has been moved to Wednesday, November 6. Any orders made this week will be delivered on November 6.

Home and School Meeting
The Home and School Association will meet on Monday, October 28, at 6:00 PM at Birchmount School. All families are welcome to join us!

A Spooky Shout Out to the Halloween House on Pellerin
A huge thank you to the Birchmount families behind the Halloween House on Pellerin, who are generously collecting donations to support our school. Their Halloween display is open one last time on Halloween Night, and it’s an incredible experience! Be sure to check them out on Facebook here.

Thank you for your continued support and involvement in making Birchmount School such a special place. As always, feel free to reach out with any questions.
