Parade: St. Mary of the Assumption will be hosting an outdoor Halloween parade around the school for grades PK-3rd from 2:00-2:20 p.m. Virtus-certified family members and friends are invited to attend the parade and should arrive between 1:15 and 1:45 p.m. In the event of rain, there will be a parade in the gym. Each class will have a Halloween party prior to the parade. Only room parents may attend the class parties.

Costumes: All grades may come to school wearing a costume that day.

• School rules regarding dress code must be followed.
• Hats & hoods may be worn as part of costume, as long as they do not obstruct the face. No masks are permitted.
• ALL costume preparations are to be completed at home. Facepaint/makeup, temporary hair color, etc. is allowed as long as it is applied prior to coming to school and can be fully removed prior to the next school day.
• No props of any kind.
• Costumes should not inhibit normal movement (sitting at a desk, walking at a normal pace, etc.)
• Costumes should not be excessively gory or scary. Keep in mind that these costumes will be viewed by Pre-K children and plan appropriately.
• Students or parents who have questions about the acceptability of their costume should check with their homeroom teacher/Mrs. Ruckstuhl prior to wearing the costume to school.
• Students wearing inappropriate costumes will need to call home to have a change of clothes brought up to them.
