Halloween With Halloween right around the corner, we are excited to host our annual outdoor Halloween Parade. The festivities, including the parade and classroom celebrations, will take place on the afternoon of Friday, October 30. Our dedicated teachers and support staff are already hard at work organizing engaging activities to make this a memorable experience for all of our students. The parade and classroom fun are completely optional. Should you wish that your child not participate, please inform their classroom teacher by Monday, October 26 and we will have alternate activities planned. As a reminder, no food items will be served during our classroom parties. Please see below for timeline of the afternoon: 1:30 - 2:00 Parade outdoors (weather permitting) 2:00 - 2 :45 Classroom fun 2:45 - 3:00 Classroom Clean-up & preparation for the end of the day 3:00 Dismissal Please note that participation and/or costumes are completely optional. Should your child choose to wear a costume, we ask that you be especially thoughtful in creating costumes which will be worn at school. Costumes can be worn to school or should be something that can easily be put on over clothing by your child with no or minimal assistance. Please keep in mind that the District 54 School Board has a policy which prohibits weapons or look-alike weapons at school. In choosing an appropriate costume for your child to wear at school, please adhere to the following guidelines:
We thank you in advance for your understanding and support. |
