Reminder ~ Halloween Information
With Halloween just a couple of days away, I wanted to remind you about what to expect. On Thursday, October 31st, we will be holding our annual Halloween parade at 1:45, which will last approximately 15 minutes. The route will take students through the north hallway (kindergarten wing nearest the parking lot) into the gymnasium, down the side hallway and through the first grade wing with students exiting the building at the end of that hallway. Students will then walk along the south side of the building and down the sidewalk in front of the Learning Center, looping back into the building through the north entrance (kindergarten doors). Parents and visitors may observe the parade outside the Learning Center on the north, south, or west side of the building, or from some limited hallway space by the gymnasium, as well as side hallway that leads to the 1st grade wing. In the event of inclement weather, parents will be able to line the hallways near their child's classroom, standing behind their child of course.
Any student wishing to dress up for the parade should bring their school-appropriate costume to school in a bag. For safety purposes, all weapon-like accessories should remain at home.
As is the case with all days involving classroom parties, i.e. Halloween, Christmas, Valentine’s, etc., lunch visitors are not permitted. The reason being that our gym simply cannot accommodate the large number of guests, while still leaving room for all of our students. I appreciate your understanding in advance. Family members are, however, more than welcome to attend the parade and classroom parties. Below are the times for each grade level’s classroom parties:
Kindergarten: 12:45-2:15
1st Grade: 1:15-2:45
