This is a reminder that if your child has lice, they must be treated with an approved method.  After you have checked their heads and removed nits, please have them come into the office so they we can offer another lice-check before re-entry.  Please remember to keep checking for nits and pulling them out.

Thank you!

The ARTastic Market is our annual Holiday Fair.  Our gym will be transformed into a lovely Holiday bizarre where some of Boulder’s best artisans and craftspeople sell their wares. Shoppers can find something for everyone on their Holiday gift list.

This event requires a number of happy volunteers.  We are currently looking for 5 Art Promoters.

Go to helpatschool.org to read about this fun volunteer opportunity and to sign up!!!

 Nutcracker Tickets – 20% of proceeds come back to Horizons!

This year Horizons K-8 has 6 students performing in the Boulder Ballet production of The Nutcracker: Clara Gerlitz, Giada Haskins, Clara Hassan, Evelyn Miller, Violet Schlomberg and Juliette Verson.

From October 9 – November 7, 20% of Horizons ticket sales come back to the school!  If you would like tickets, simply complete the attached form and drop it off (along with a check) in the Nutcracker ticket bin in the office.  I will collect the forms and submit them weekly to Boulder Ballet and they will issue tickets directly. Tickets will be issued in the order they are received and will be distributed the week prior to Thanksgiving break.  Please feel free to share this discount with friends, family, neighbors and co-workers.  Thanks for supporting our school, our performers and the arts!

Enjoying the first snowfall of the year. Kids have a great time playing when they have snow gear. Please help your child to remember to dress for the weather!

The Lost & Found  is overflowing with forgotten treasures.  The contents are now on display on tables in the front hallway.  If your child is missing something, please come have a look.  We will donate whatever is leftover on Fri, Oct 27th.

Signing up for your conference time will take place using an online scheduling tool called Sign Up Genius. This is a web-based system that allows you to choose your conference time.

This email is a notification of when scheduling will “open.” The school felt it would be most equitable if we announced the opportunity to sign-up for conferences in advance.

For families who also have more than one student at Horizons, the Fall Conferences Sign Up Genius will be available Monday, October 9 at 3:45pm.

For all other families, the Fall Conferences Sign Up Genius will be available for scheduling Wednesday, October 11 at 3:45pm.

This does not mean you must schedule your conference as soon as you receive the invite from Sign Up Genius; the scheduling window will be open until October 24th, 2017. However, we suggest scheduling early to ensure you can create a conference appointment that works with your family’s schedule. Please check your email sometime after the relevant time stated above for detailed information about how Sign Up Genius works, you will receive instructions about how to sign up for your student-led conference.
