Halloween is Coming
Hallowe’en is coming very soon. We would like to remind families that we will celebrate Hallowe’en in classes at school on October 31. Costumes are welcome in the afternoon only, except for AM kindergarten.
As always, costume that are worn at school need to be non-threatening, not full or blood and gore and appropriate for elementary school aged children. We ask that students refrain from wearing a mask at school and all “weapons” that are part of a costume remain at home.
Your child’s teacher will communicate any specific activities related to that class’ celebration and also remind families that shared snacks will not be distributed so we ask that they stay home.
Thank you in advance for your understanding.
