International Potluck
Today, 5 PM–7 PM, library basketball courts: Join us for a fantastic evening to connect with other Taylor families and celebrate our diverse community!
We invite you to share a dish that represents your culture or a family favorite. Please prepare your dish in small samples sizes so everyone can enjoy a taste of each unique creation.
Whether you bring food or simply come to enjoy, your presence will make the event special! You may still sign up.
Nurse’s Note
Friday, November 1, please do not permit your student to bring candy to school to share with others.
Celebrating Halloween is a fun tradition with cool costumes, parades, parties, and candy/treat sharing. As you are likely aware, treats can contain ingredients that some students are not permitted to eat for allergy/health/religious reasons. It can be distressing to students who know they can’t have these items to see everyone else in their class enjoying the candy/treats and asking them why they aren’t eating them and feeling different/excluded.
In an effort to maintain the safety and comfort of all students, treats that are brought to celebrate the occasion will be saved and sent home with the students at the end of the day or with them to their aftercare providers. This gives you decision-making choices in the quantity of treats your child is permitted to consume and doesn’t openly identify students who aren’t permitted to consume them.
Thank you for your kind understanding.
In good health ~ Nurses Julie, Claudette, and Jimmy
Thank you for your support.
