COSTUME PARADE GUIDELINES
Wednesday, October 31 10:30 AM-11:00 AM

Our annual costume parade will take place on October 31st. The parade starts around the front circle area where we conduct morning carline and will continue around the path of the middle school modular classrooms. The parade will start promptly at 10:30 AM. You are welcome to stop by (and certainly dress up if you like) to join us in some old fashioned fun! Please make sure to stand behind the seated classes (around the perimeter) so we have a safe and clear parade route and bring your cameras!  If you wish to take your child home after the parade, please be sure to sign out with the classroom teacher. The parade should be over around 11:00 AM. Enrichment classes will be in session that afternoon so be sure you inform the enrichment teacher via email if your child will not be attending.

We thank you in advance for your support in helping your child follow the rules about costumes. Teachers will send information about specific costume guidelines for each grade level.  General guidelines are listed below.


 COSTUME GUIDELINES
  • Costumes are not allowed to have any  dangerous objects (i.e. toy swords, toy guns, chains, skates, or spray cans) . Please leave all accessories at home.
  • Students should wear school clothes under the costume so they can participate at recess.  Students should be able to manipulate their own costumes so that they can use the bathroom.
  • Please make sure young children in costume before the parade, are able to sit and learn without distraction.
  • Costumes should not be too scary (so that our younger students are not frightened). No blood or gore.  No masks or costumes that cover the head.
  • Costumes should be appropriate length (not too short, too tight, or see-through).
  • Costumes should not include things on the hands or face that would interfere with sight.
  • Shoes must be safe (no slippers or high heels) 
  • Face masks should not be worn. 
  • Please leave the candy at home.
  • If a child does not meet the guidelines, he/she will be asked to remove the costume.  All candy will be returned.

SAFETY & SECURITY FOLLOW-UP
On Friday, all students on campus participated in a table-top safety drill during which they were given a scenario to discuss with their teachers.  The students needed to create a plan for what they would do if there were a stranger on campus.  Their responses were submitted to Officer Hansell and Mrs. Jannes for review and will serve as the baseline for future drills and teaching.

Students were assured that this was just a simulation and there was no real emergency.  However, you may want to take this opportunity to talk to your children about personal safety in other environments.  There are several websites for parents available when you search for safety tips.
