Halloween Parties

Here's some information from Mrs. Gottschalk.

Our fall parties will be Friday, October 3oth!  Students will have a parade on the path outside, going around the building in their costumes at 8:40am.  Following the parade students will have a fall breakfast party in their classroom. Parents and guardians are welcome to attend the parade and fall breakfast party. PTO room parents will be organizing the fall breakfast parties and will be permitted along with their parent helpers, to enter the classrooms at 8:00am.  Parents coming to watch the parade will remain outside. After the parade they may enter the building for the party.   In case of inclement weather, the parade will be inside.
Students are to wear their costumes to school on the party day and wear school clothes under their costume, or bring clothes to change into after the party.  All costumes and accessories will be removed at the end of the parties and we will resume a normal school day.  Students will not be having afternoon parties or treats for the fall party.

• Weapons and/or look-alike weapons are not allowed. 
• Messy makeup and colored hairspray are not allowed.
• Please remember that costumes should not reflect violent characters, blood, gore or any theme not appropriate for the younger school environment.

*Students who do not celebrate Halloween please let your child’s teacher know and we will have an alternate fun activity for your child.
