HALLOWEEN PARADE ROUTE
The Halloween parade will be on Tuesday, October 31st at 9:00AM. Parking will be limited. If possible, please consider carpooling. (Rain date: Wednesday, Nov. 1st. If the parade is postponed, the decision will be made by 4:00PM on Monday and communicated via email.)
Students will walk out of the front of the building (near the flagpole) and parade on our sidewalk around the school. After reaching Burnt House Hill Road, they will turn and walk to the back playground and re-enter the building by the gymnasium. NOTE: We will walk the parade route twice.
Kindergarten students will lead the parade, followed consecutively by the other grades.
Students are welcome to wear their costumes to school. Please have your child bring their masks and/or accessories to school in a bag with your child's name on the bag. Please use your best judgement in costume selection. Costumes of a violent nature are discouraged. There should be no weapons of any kind brought to school on Halloween.
KINDERGARTEN PARADE PLANS
October 31st is a half-day of school. PM kindergarten attends.
All AM Kindergarten students are invited to participate in the outdoor parade. Please bring your child to the entrance under the large Gayman Elementary School sign, in front of the school, by 8:45AM. Mrs. Feher will bring the AM class to Mrs. Menard's room where they will lead the parade. Please pick up your child after the parade at the drop-off location.
HALLOWEEN PARTIES
Parents who are volunteering should enter through the doors under the Gayman Elementary School sign. You will check in with a staff member. We have our party volunteer list and will already have your visitor badges ready when you arrive. Only party volunteers will be allowed into the building. We appreciate your help in providing a SAFE and enjoyable experience for the entire Gayman community.
If you are assisting with the classroom party at the end of the school day and choose to take your child home with you at dismissal, we ask that you sign them out in their classroom with their homeroom teacher.

VETERAN GUEST SPEAKERS: NOV. 10TH
To mark this special day, we are hosting "Veteran Class Speakers". Any veteran, or someone currently serving in the military, is invited to speak to a class. The time of the presentation will be determined by the teacher and speaker.
A 20-minute presentation would include:
- A description of your military job/responsibilities
- A favorite memory from your service
- Questions from the students
Our hope is for every class to have a speaker, please let us know if you are able to do more than one presentation. NOTE: While we will make every effort to match you with your child's (grandchild's) class, you may be speaking to a different class.
Email Jennifer Costello at jcostello@cbsd.org, if you are interested before November 3rd.
To all of our veterans - thank you for your service!
