With Halloween and other fall celebrations approaching, we know that some families will want their children to wear costumes to school and some may want to save them for community events after school hours. On Thursday October 31, we welcome students to wear their costumes or pajamas to school if they wish. Students will have an opportunity to show their costume to the whole school community during a costume parade in the gym. When choosing a costume to wear to school please remember: 

• Keep your child’s comfort and safety in mind for indoor and outdoor play. Make sure your child can wear a coat and indoor and outdoor shoes with their costume. 
• Long capes, uncomfortable shoes, or other tripping hazards are discouraged. Students should be able to participate in gym and outdoor play safely throughout the day. 
• Please ensure their vision is not obscured by their costume. 
• Please leave loose props at home. We cannot be responsible for anything lost or left behind at the school before Halloween night and there will be no staff here to accommodate entrance to the school for any forgotten items. 
• Do not send costume weapons to school (swords, guns, etc.) 
• No extremely gory costumes. Please remember we have small children in the building, students, and staff with varying levels of sensitivity. We want everyone to feel safe and have fun!
