Dear Daves Families,
Halloween is around the corner and Cool Cat students are likely on the hunt for that perfect costume! To make this another safe and healthy Halloween at Daves Avenue, here are some guidelines we ask that you follow if your child decides to dress up in costume:
- Encourage school and age appropriate costumes.
- Avoid scary costumes that could frighten young children.
- No weapons, blood, or masks.
- No hair dye or spray can be brought to school. Please administer at home.
- Unattached parts of costumes can get lost easily at school, so you may want to leave them at home.
If your child decides to dress up (itβs optional), please have them come to school in costume. Children must bring a change of clothes as they will take off their costumes at recess. Kindergarteners will remain in their costumes.
Parents, we are asking for your help as well. If you decide to join us in Halloween festivities and wear a costume to school, please make sure that it is appropriate for an elementary school campus. For example, please ask yourself the question, βIf I were to read to five year olds, would my costume be appropriate?β If your answer is no, please refrain from wearing this costume to school. On behalf of the Daves Avenue staff, we thank you in advance for your understanding.
The annual parade will begin at approximately 8:25 A.M. and will take place on the blacktop this year. All grade levels will be assigned space on the perimeter of the blacktop and will be provided an opportunity to show-off their Halloween spirit! We invite families to enjoy this event as there will be designated space to watch from the outer perimeter of the parade circle.
We are looking forward to a safe and Happy Halloween!
Kind regards,
Principal, Daves Avenue Elementary School
