Halloween at Stedman

Halloween is on a Monday this year, and we know students love sharing their excitement and costumes with their friends and teachers. We hope many of you are able to put a costume on for Fall Festival next weekend, but Monday, October 31st will also be an opportunity for students to celebrate if they choose.

Students can wear their costumes to school on Monday, October 31st, but please keep in mind the following:

• Students will be engaged in learning and regular schedules that day. Costumes should not interfere with their ability to participate in classroom learning, Specials, or lunch/recess.
• All costume props must be kept in a student's backpack/locker until the Costume Parade and class parties.
• No masks, fake weapons, or fake blood allowed

Our school-wide costume parade will begin at 2:45pm in the afternoon to be followed by class parties (costumes not required!). Please reach out to your Room Parent if you are able to support planning. (Students that do not wish to participate are invited to engage in a Fall-related activity during that time)

Halloween es un lunes este año y sabemos que a los estudiantes les encanta compartir su entusiasmo y sus disfraces con sus amigos y maestros. Esperamos que muchos de ustedes puedan ponerse un disfraz para el Festival de Otoño el próximo fin de semana, pero el lunes 31 de octubre también será una oportunidad para que los estudiantes celebren si así lo desean.

Los estudiantes pueden usar sus disfraces en la escuela el lunes 31 de octubre, pero tenga en cuenta lo siguiente:

• Los estudiantes participarán en el aprendizaje y los horarios regulares ese día. Los disfraces no deben interferir con su capacidad de participar en el aprendizaje en el salón de clases, especiales o almuerzo/recreo.
• Todos los accesorios de disfraces deben guardarse en la mochila/casillero del estudiante hasta el desfile de disfraces y las fiestas de la clase.
• No se permiten máscaras, armas falsas o sangre falsa.

Nuestro desfile de disfraces de toda la escuela comenzará a las 2:45 p. m. de la tarde y será seguido por fiestas de clase (¡no se requieren disfraces!). Comuníquese con su Room Parent si puede apoyar la planificación. (Los estudiantes que no deseen participar están invitados a participar en una actividad relacionada con el otoño durante ese tiempo)

Learn more about the history of Indigenous Peoples' Day here or read about how to honor this day with your kids here!
