Next Friday, October 31st, we will host our annual Halloween festivities. Students may wear their costumes to school. Families are welcome to watch our parade and to participate in Trunk or Treat. If you would like to decorate your trunk or would like to help out by donating candy, please see the information emailed from PACS. In addition, grade-level parents have been in contact with you about how you can participate in the Halloween celebrations they are planning. Please join us if you are able and see the PACS information in the newsletter for volunteering opportunities.
We will have a normal opening and beginning classes.Â
Parent-Teacher Conferences will begin the week of November 3rd. Conferences will take place each morning from November 3rd through the 14th, as well as all day on Thursday and Friday, November 6th and 7th. All conferences will be held virtually with your child’s team of teachers. Please use the links below to sign up for your conference. You only need to sign up for one meeting, as your child’s teachers meet together to discuss your child as a whole. Please see the Veracross email, which you can also see as a message on your Parent Portal Dashboard, for more details about parent-teacher conferences.

 Craig School Trunk-or-Treat & Class PartiesÂ
Friday, October 31st | 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM | LS/MS Parking Lot
Our much-loved Trunk-or-Treat and Halloween Class Parties are coming up soon—but we truly need your help to make them happen!
Right now, we have very few volunteers signed up, and without family participation, this event simply can’t run well. It takes a village (and a lot of candy!) to bring the magic to life for our students, and every bit of help counts.
Whether you can decorate a trunk, bring snacks, help at a class party, or direct cars in the parking lot—we need you! Even if you can only come for a short time, your presence makes a difference.
Everyone is Welcome!
Parents and extended family members are invited to join in the fun and volunteer, too. It’s a wonderful way to be part of a Craig tradition and see the joy on the children’s faces during the parade and parties- Event Details
Sign Up Today!
Help decorate a trunk, donate candy or snacks, or lend a hand with setup, games, or cleanup. Your involvement, big or small, makes a difference.
Let’s make this year’s Halloween celebration one to remember!
