Halloween

• We will celebrate Halloween on Monday, 10/31.


• Students should not wear costumes to school. Please pack it in a bag to change into after lunch. Some students choose to go home for lunch to change there.


• After lunch, students will change into their costumes. Our party will start around 12:10. Thank you to parents who are coming to and organizing the party. We'll get through about 3 stations.


• The parade will be at 1:00. We will finish our stations after the party. Students go to music at 2:17.


• Students will be dismissed at 2:55 as usual.


• NO WEAPONS, either real or toy, should be included as part of a costume.


• There will be a pumpkin decorating contest, by age group, the week of Halloween. Look for details in the Digital Backpack.


• Please let me know if your family does not celebrate Halloween. There will be an alternative party for those students who do not.
