HALLOWEEN INFORMATION
Students may wear their costumes to school that day. We will be having our customary Costume Parade beginning at 2:00pm followed by a "Trunk-or-Treat" parade! We will have a portion of the parking lot blocked off as we get ready for our “Trunk-or-Treat” that will be prepared by parent volunteers.
We will be running INDOOR DISMISSAL this day to help manage the parking lot being closed and carline issues. Parents will be allowed in the building at 2:45pm, but the main bank of doors will be locked and access to the classrooms will not be until after prayer. We will begin prayer at 2:50pm so we can begin indoor dismissal a little bit early.
Costume guidelines:
- No devil costumes
- No witch costumes
- No weapons
- No visible underwear
- Skirt and/or length of the costume must be appropriate (no more than 2 inches above the knee)
- Students must be able to fit in their desks with their costumes on
