1:15pm on Tuesday Oct 31, at the Morning Circle spots.
The parade will end close to
1:45. S
ome teachers will dismiss directly from the yard and others will dismiss from classrooms, depending on teacher preference.
Additionally, please do not send your students to school in a costume that includes fake weapons or really terrifying/ bloody/ gory costumes that will give our kinder students nightmares. There is a big gray area with halloween costumes, so thanks for erring on the safe and friendly side :)
Adults:
- You are welcome/encouraged to dress up - but, no face masks
- Please remain on the outside of the Morning Circle
- Take pictures/videos and share them on our Shutterfly Site.
Have a safe and happy Halloween!
