COSTUMES:

Costumes are not required. If your child chooses to have one, they should bring costumes, not wear them to school. Face paint/makeup can be applied before coming to school. No simulated “weapons” are allowed. This includes swords, sabers, etc. Children must be able to see clearly, so only masks that allow unobstructed vision will be allowed. Costumes that drag on the ground will not be permitted. In order to avoid unnecessary upset for the students, please be sure to try on costumes at home a few days before 10/31.

PARADE ROUTE:

We will exit the main door of the building (using the ramp), make a right towards Clark Street, walk on Clark Street on the sidewalk across the front of the school, make a right into the secondary parking lot, up the stairs and onto the path to Meeker. We will walk along the sidewalk on Meeker, back into the yard (using the gate farthest from the playground) and back up the ramp into the building. Families who desire to stop by will be able to see the parade from any spot along this route.

STUDENT SAFETY:

We ask that you keep all sidewalks and walking paths clear for the duration of the parade.

Family members may not take students from their lines or block our walking route. All students will re-enter the building after the parade for a regular 2:30 dismissal. If you anticipate early dismissal, please pick your child up before 1:00. Please note that students dismissed prior to 1:00 will not participate in the parade.

MORE INFORMATION

Fun, seasonal activities will be planned for any students not participating in or watching the parade.

We understand that this event is exciting and special to many. It may also be an overwhelming sensory experience for some. With that, we appreciate your continued support in ensuring that we remain focused on students and their safety & well-being.

If there is inclement weather, the parade will be canceled. All families will be notified of cancellation via SchoolMessenger email or voice blast by 10:30 am.
