Halloween Reminders

Halloween parties are “breakfast parties” scheduled for the first 45 minutes of the school day from 9:15- 10:00AM.  It is recommended that party treats be balanced and nutritious with limited “sweets.”  For those not wishing to participate in class Halloween parties, parents have the option of opting out.  Students who are not at school will be marked as an excused absence.  Students will be back to learning by 10:30AM and those students opting out will arrive at that time. 

Specific guidelines for Halloween costuming include the following:

1.  Students may come dressed in a costume, but they must be able to change into school clothes for the remainder of the day after the party has ended.

            2.  Costumes may not be demeaning or offensive

            3.  The following will not be allowed:

                        • Face make-up

                        • Depiction of blood or guts

                        • Racist or promiscuous dress

                        • Weapons or facsimile of weapons (swords, guns, scythes)

                        • Accessories or props such as balls, bats, ropes, etc.

If a costume is deemed inappropriate, the child may be asked to change into school clothes.   When parties are completed at 10:00, we will have a parade around the school for 15 minutes.  Students will then return to class, change out of costumes and return to learning by 10:30AM.
