PTA is looking for gently used donated costumes for schools families who do not have costumes. We will keep them in our building. Please drop off any clean gently used costumes to the school office. Thank you for your support.
Halloween Celebrations
On Wednesday, October 31st, students will be allowed to bring costumes to school. Students will not be able to wear their costumes during the morning, but may put them on in the afternoon prior to our Halloween Parade at 2:30 PM. Weather permitting, we will walk around the neighborhood of the school during the parade and then have time for class parties. Parents are welcome to participate in the parade around the neighborhood, but must check into the office first in order to obtain a visitor’s pass. If it rains the parade will be around the inside of the school.
Notes about costumes:
PLEASE DO NOT WEAR COSTUMES TO SCHOOL. Instead, bring your labeled costume in a bag, with your student’s name on it. Students will be able to change into their costumes in the afternoon. Students may NOT dress up as anything that contains inappropriate, bloody looking, or would be considered scary for younger students who may be frightened by these costumes due to images they may have seen in the media. Weapons or toys that resemble weapons are NOT permitted. Most classrooms will have their parties at 2:50 – 3:20, please check your classroom teacher’s blog for more information.
