Please help your child to l;earn how to put on their coat and zip it by themselves.  Remember, to teach them how to tie their shoes or send them to school in velcro shoes.

Dear Families,

Our Halloween celebration will be on Wednesday October 31st,  which means excited kids and parents too:)  With all the excitement, we are listing the expectations for the day.  Since we have seen an influx of food allergies in all the Kindergarten classrooms, we are asking families not to send your child with any treats to pass out to his/her friends.  If by accident, your child sends a treat to school, we will kindly place it back in your child’s backpack to take home.  Students are able to wear costumes for the day…YAY! We just ask that your child does not bring to school any weapons/wands/masks, accessories with the costume.  If these are brought, we will kindly place them back into their backpacks.  We encourage each and every family to practice with your child how to put on and take off your child’s costume since they will be in this costume throughout the duration of the school day.  Make sure your child is in his/her costume at drop off! We will have a jam packed day, so the less disruptions the better:)

The Haigh Halloween parade will take place at 2:30 p.m.  We encourage families to come out and watch the parade that will take place outside.  There is no need to come into the building. We hope we answered some questions for this fun, filled day!  

Thank you,

Kindergarten & Young 5’s Team
