Happy Friday!
We will celebrate Halloween on Tuesday, October 31, 2023.
Costumes will be permitted with the following guidelines:
1. No Costume Masks
2. No Props
3. Minimal Makeup
4. Costumes must be worn to school. There will not be a “change time”. Please make sure that your child will be able to function comfortably throughout the day (bathroom needs, recess, school work, specials) while wearing his/her costume.
We will have our, “parade” outside at 8:05. If it is raining, we will go with an inside walk through the bottom level of Bogan.
The weather is taking a big turn next week. As the weather starts to get cooler, please send in a sweatshirt or coat with your child. Some grades have a recess in the morning when it is pretty chilly out still. Please label coats with your child’s name.
Attendance Reminder
ABSENCE FROM SCHOOL PROCEDURES
Before 8:30 a.m. on the day of absence, a parent/guardian should call the Attendance line, Bogan Office at 513-273-3400, to report a student absent from school. This line is available 24 hours a day. If a parent has called the Attendance line, a written note WILL NOT be necessary.
If a call has not been received, the Office will begin making home phone calls to missing students by 8:30 a.m. in compliance with the Missing Child Act.
Students who have not been called in and wish to have his/her absence excused MUST, within 5 school days, present a note stating the date(s) of absence, reason of absence, and parent/guardian signature. Parents may excuse their child for a total of TEN days each school year. After TEN days of parent excuses, all absences will be considered UNEXCUSED unless supported by a doctor 's note. Vacation days may be excused as part of the 10 total Parent notes.

Cocoa Fun Run 5k we are hosting on November 18th. It will be at Cook Field here on Miami's campus. It is a hot chocolate 5k so we will have stations with hot chocolate set up at the beginning and end of the race as well as throughout the race route in case people who are walking want to drink some hot chocolate along the way! The link underneath the flyer is where people can register for the race or they can scan the QR code in the flyer. It is $10 per person.
