Dear Families,
We're so excited that our school will be participating in an in-school Penguin Patch® Holiday Shop to spread holiday cheer!
Penguin Patch® Holiday Shop is a fun way for students to shop for family members and experience the spirit of giving while learning to earn, budget, and save! Our shop will be open from December 8th to December 12th.
Your student will have over 100 delightful gifts to choose from, all ranging in price from $0.50 to $12. This is an amazing opportunity to empower your student to choose, purchase, and give gifts to their loved ones!
Happy Holidays,
Dubois PTO/FACE

Halloween is Friday and we want the day to be fun, appropriate, and safe for all students. Please avoid scary masks and costumes that indicate violence of any kind. No props or accessories that depict a play weapon of any kind are allowed, such as anything looking like guns, knives, axes, lasers, etc. Costumes must comply with the district standards of appropriate dress as outlined in the student and family handbook. Costumes may not be demeaning to any ethnic group, race, religion, disability, nationality or gender. Also, please remember that we are a Peanut Free School. These guidelines will be strictly enforced, thank you in advance for your cooperation.
We want every student in our school to show their Dragon pride with a school t-shirt featuring our awesome dragon logo! You should be receiving a flyer to indicate your child's t-shirt size, please return that flyer as soon as possible as we will be ordering shirts by the end of the month.
If your family is able, we’re asking for a $5 contribution to help cover the cost. If not—no worries at all! Every student will get a shirt no matter what.
