Halloween will be here soon and we have some fun activities planned for students. Mrs. Leach is setting up games, face painting and a dance party in the gym for 30 minute blocks of time for each grade level. Students can wear costumes that day as long as they are not scary, gory, and do not include things such as fake blood or fake weapons.
Some students have medical conditions, including food allergies, that require dietary restrictions and/or no contact with certain types of food or ingredients found in processed foods. This is why teachers may request specific food items or that no food items be provided by family members when making plans for events like Halloween parties. As a school district, we are working very hard to make sure we provide healthy and safe environments for all students, therefore, we ask for your assistance when it comes to supplying food for school events. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
The Millinocket School Department has been diligently practicing our school emergency management plan. We have been doing a series of drills to prepare our staff and students. We would like to thank you all for your support during this process. In the upcoming weeks we will be continuing to practice these drills so please do not be alarmed if you see students out and about during the school day. Rest assured in the case of a real emergency you will be notified. We appreciate all of your support and will continue to do these drills to assure our students and staff safety.
