Please remember that there will be no school from December 22nd through January 2nd, and we look forward to welcoming students back on January 6th.
May this break be filled with time to relax, reflect, and make special memories. Happy Holidays from our Halstead family to yours. 💙💛🐾

Halstead's Carnival yesterday was a blast for every grade level! Even with the weather keeping us indoors, the gym was full of energy as students jumped on bounce houses, raced through the inflatable obstacle course, and took their best shots at the inflatable basketball dunk. What an awesome way to reward great behavior and end the day with unforgettable memories! 💙💛🐾







Yesterday, students from all grade levels took part in our cookie decorating event, and it was a huge hit. From colorful icing to creative toppings, our Bulldawgs showed off their imagination while enjoying a well-earned reward for making great choices.
Thank you for planning accordingly and ensuring timely pick-up.

✨ Glitter on your face or 🎨 2 fun tattoos for just $1!
Get ready to shine, sparkle, and sparkle some more this holiday season!
Don’t miss out on the fun, let’s make this season bright and merry!

Our Lost & Found has officially become a winter coat shelter. 🥶
If your child has been mysteriously “losing” jackets, hoodies, or sweatshirts, chances are they’re all hanging out together waiting to be claimed. Please check the Lost & Found before Friday, because cold weather + winter break = sad, lonely coats.




Learning has never tasted so good! 💛💙🐾



These students were recognized for demonstrating outstanding character, leadership, and positive behavior. We are so proud of the way they represent Halstead Elementary each day and set a great example for others. Keep up the amazing work, Bulldawgs! 💛💙🐾



Thank you to all the families, staff, and volunteers who helped make Santa Night such a memorable celebration for our students. We loved sharing this special holiday tradition with you! 🎄🎅✨





A special highlight of the visit was seeing several former Halstead students, now members of the band and choir, return to our campus. They even took time to pose for a photo, making the moment extra meaningful for our students and staff.
Thank you to the talented musicians, singers, directors, and staff for spreading holiday joy and representing S.C. Lee with such pride and spirit. We are always proud to see our Bulldawgs shine!
