ANNUAL HALLOWEEN PARADE
THURSDAY, 8:45 AM
Families, please join us for our annual Halloween Parade scheduled for 8:45 AM. We will gather on the playground and students will be able to walk around the field in their costumes for friends and families. There will be a designated area for families to stand and take pictures as their students walk by. As the parade concludes, do not pull your student from their class area to take pictures. Our teachers do not want any students unaccounted for as they return to class. You may walk up to your student(s) at the conclusion of the parade to snap a picture or two. All parents will be asked to exit campus at this time. If you are staying on campus and have pre-arranged this with your child's teacher, you will need to sign in again at the main office so we have an accurate count as to who is on campus.
We ask that students do not wear masks or bring imitation weapons of any kind. We cannot make any exceptions for this.
We also ask that students wear something under their costumes so they can be put away after the parade. It is a long school day AND an art day, so we do not want any costumes to get damaged.
If you do not want your child to participate, please let your child's teacher know so we can make appropriate arrangements for them.
