Halloween Celebration – Friday, October 31st

We are excited to celebrate Halloween on Friday, October 31st! Students may wear costumes to school; however, no masks may be worn during the day and no weapons of any kind are allowed. Classroom party food will be assigned by each teacher, and due to our nut-free policy, no additional food items may be sent in. Goodie bags are welcome but must not include any food, and no homemade treats will be permitted.

The AM preschool parade will begin at 10:00 a.m. The PM preschool, Kindergarten, 1st grade, and all other students will parade at 1:45 p.m. If weather prevents an outdoor parade, we will move the event indoors with no spectators, and it will be broadcast live on Facebook for families to enjoy.

Please see the attached letter that will also be sent home via Powerschool email.
