Description
|
Please join us for our annual Halloween parade and classroom parties. Our parade will begin at 1:15 on the blacktop behind Meiklejohn. We ask that you please arrive no earlier than 15 minutes before the parade and proceed directly to the playground out back to await your adorable children. As Halloween approaches, your child's safety is our first concern. In order to ensure that we provide a safe environment for our festivities we ask all students/family members/visitors to adhere to the following procedures and guidelines:
- Visitors may park in the parking lots on the east and west side of the school. Please do not use the hug and go zone or bus lane for parking.
- Visitors must enter the school through the front doors, sign in and wear a visitor's badge. Please walk straight through the front hallway, exit through the doors by the cafeteria and wait outside at the park for the parade to start. Please ensure your child can put on his/her costume on alone or with minimal help as each teacher has an entire class to prepare for the parade and parents coming in early to assist can interfere with instruction before 1:00. Thank you in advance for that consideration.
- Costumes may not include:
- Weapons (this includes items that are made of paper, cardboard, etc.) If in doubt, do not bring it in.
- Blood
- Please keep in mind that we have 5 year olds in the building and gore should be kept at a minimal level. If administration finds the costume too gory we may ask them not to wear it.
- Additionally, we ask that adult costumes not include:
- Masks of any kind.
- Weapons (this includes items that are made of paper, cardboard, etc.) If in doubt, do not bring it in.
- Blood or gore
- Students should NOT wear their costumes to school in the morning. Students will be able to change into their costumes 15 minutes before the parade.
- At 1:15, the students will exit the school and parade around the blacktop, weather permitting. In case of bad weather, the parade will be held indoors.
- Classroom parties will begin immediately following the parade and will conclude at 2:30.
- If parents choose to check their student(s) out early, they must sign their student out at the front office.
- Should you not want your child participating in any Halloween activities, please inform your child's teacher in advance of the 31st.
Thank you for your support. We hope you all have a safe and happy Halloween!
