Celebrating Halloween at school
Help USN make Halloween merry, not scary. Students should follow the USN dress code and leave frightening costumes and distracting props at home.
By Juanita I.C. Traughber, Communications Director
Students, faculty, and staff may wear costumes crafted in good taste to school on Friday, October 29. Halloween costumes should adhere to the USN dress code, which states, “Attire that is revealing, patently offensive, distracting or otherwise counterproductive to the learning process is not acceptable.” Everyone also must continue to abide by the school's COVID-19 mitigation strategies by wearing a face covering or mask over the nose and mouth. Students and families with questions about appropriate selections should contact their Division heads.

- Shoes are required.
- Toy weapons should not be brought to class.
- Please be mindful USN is a K-12 school. Costumes should not be gory or anything that might scare a young child.
- We will have a regular day of classes, so make sure costumes do not limit students' ability to participate normally.
- Bring appropriate clothes for recess, physical education, or sports if your costume will prohibit normal participation.

Back-to-school Popsicle Party canceled
Mother Nature is not cooperating for our annual Popsicle Party. Depending on which weather app you use, actual and feels-like temperatures are 98 to 101 and higher. Under these conditions, we would limit student activities, so, in the interest of everyone's health and well-being, we are going to cancel our gathering at the River Campus. There is just not enough shade and certainly no air conditioning to bring relief to hundreds of USN families. Thank you for understanding. We look forward to seeing you in a few days for the start of our new school year.Read More -
