 Important Reminders Halloween – Halloween is quickly approaching! We will be holding our annual Halloween Parade as well as our classroom parties on Friday, Oct. 30th. The parade will start at 9:15 inside and we will proceed outside to the parade route around 9:30. Parents are encouraged to line the parade route and cheer us on. We are following the same parade route as last year. Parking is challenging on Halloween please be respectful of our neighborhood with parking, We would love you to then spread out throughout the route so we have the community and parents cheering us all along the route. We will have the 5th grade lead us and then have 4, 3, 2, 1, and Kinder follow. Please help your child to pick an appropriate costume. Here are some guidelines: No inflatable blow-up costumes. These prevent us from visually identifying students and present frustration if they break, as well as difficulty navigating the parade. No face masks or full-face paint. We need to be able to visually identify students in costumes. Costumes that are provocative, revealing, sexual in nature or employ questionable props are not permitted. Costumes that depict violence, alcohol, or drugs are not permitted. Fake (or real) weapons are not permitted. Costumes that can be offensive or perpetuate a stereotype of someone’s culture, gender, heritage or religion are not permitted. Costumes should not hinder your ability to participate in classes Costumes should include shoes Costumes and dressing up is optional Here is the parade route and map. Just a reminder: ALL PARENTS PLANNING TO ATTEND A HALLOWEEN PARTY MUST BE AN APPROVED VOLUNTEER and bring Government Issued ID. Volunteer applications must be submitted every new school year.https://volunteer.canyonsdistrict.org/volunteersystem/#!/application/volunteer// NO EXCEPTIONS. Thank you for your understanding so we can keep all of students safe. |
