A NOTE FROM
YOUR SCHOOL HEALTH OFFICE:

Arizona requires each school to submit an immunization compliance report by Tuesday, Nov. 10. Our Health Office still needs many of your students' records. If you are unsure whether you have given us your records yet, please call our Health Assistant, Cody Slade, at 480-424-1790 or email: cslade@archwaycicero.org. If your student does not have an up to date immunization record or exemption form signed, they can be excluded from school. Records can be faxed to: 480-434-6614, emailed to Cody Slade, or dropped off by parents or students at the Health Office or Front Office.

HALLOWEEN COSTUME COLLECTION TO
HELP HOMELESS CHILDREN

Cicero is partnering with Archway Scottsdale to collect new and gently used halloween costumes 11/1-11/13 for St. Vincent de Paul's Dream Center. The Dream Center is an activity center built into the family dining room for children that provides a designated space for kids to participate in art, crafts, tutoring, reading and science experiments.

If possible, please donate costumes in the original packaging. We need sizes: newborn to adult. Target, Walmart and Walgreens will have big costume sales after Halloween if you would like to purchase any to donate. Let's Make a Difference in a Child's Life!

ARCHWAY CICERO
WINTER CONCERT SERIES

In The Cicero Gymnatorium

Grades K-2: Wed, Dec 2, 6pm

Grades 3-5: Thurs, Dec 3, 6pm

Performance in these concerts is mandatory for all students as it is a portion of their music grades

The Archway Cicero Winter Concert Series will be here before you know it! Our Kindergarten-2nd grade concert is on December 2nd at 6pm in the Cicero Gymnatorium. The 3rd-5th graders will have their concert the following night, December 3rd at 6pm in the gymnatorium as well. The dress code for all concerts is in the Family Handbook on the school web site: Click Here - See Pg 45

The Dress Code is also attached below. Even though K-5 grade girls are permitted to wear low heels, our music teachers, Ms. McWilliams and Mr. Nardone do not recommend them. They prefer rubber soled flats since they are safer while walking upstairs, more comfortable and more silent while students walk on and off the stage. Thank you!
