HALLOWEEN REMINDERS
We are so excited that even during a pandemic, we will continue our tradition of holding a Halloween Party and parade for our students. However, this will look different than in the past.
- As we follow our "No Visitors" policy during the school day, teachers will be facilitating their classroom parties planned by our awesome room parents, and the parade will be shared virtually.
- We will have a normal school day until 2:30 PM.
- Cookies and drinks will be provided by the district for our parties.
- Costumes should be appropriate for a school setting, not offensive or scary. We have
some very young children in the building and we do not want them to become frightened by
costumes that portray violence, blood and gore. Weapons, real or fake, are not allowed to
be a part of a costume.
- Please, NO Make-Up this year.
- Students should NOT wear their costumes to school. Students should bring their costumes to school in a bag clearly marked with their name on it.
- Our parties will begin at 2:35 followed by the parade. Please join us virtually for the parade. More information to follow!
- Dismissal will be conducted as usual, at the regular time.
THANK YOU FOR MAKING IT A SAFE, RESPECTFUL, and RESPONSIBLE HALLOWEEN!
