Halloween Parade
We will be having a Halloween Parade at Schweitzer Elementary School at 2:00 pm on October 31st. Parents will be invited to view the parade, take photos, and wave! We will be sending out locations outlining where parents can stand as well as parking for the event. We're still reviewing logistics now, and we will send something out when we're closer to the parade date. In the event of rain, the afternoon parade will take place in the building for students and staff only.
With the ever-increasing daily theme of aggression and violence in our society, the Schweitzer staff would like to suggest that parents carefully monitor the costume choices worn by students this day. We would request that costume accessories which could be construed as weapons not be part of your child's costume choice. Save make-up, masks, and elaborate accessories for Halloween night.
In an effort to maintain a safe and secure atmosphere during our Halloween celebration, we ask the following:
- Students are not permitted to go home to get ready for the parade and are not dismissed early directly following the parade.
- No costumes may be worn to school on the bus.
In order to keep the day in proper perspective and in a secure and educational environment the above procedures are necessary. Thank you for your support and cooperation.
Some classrooms will be having classroom parties following the parade. If you plan on volunteering to help with a classroom party, you MUST have clearances and be on the list provided by the homeroom teacher to be a part of the celebration. Be sure to visit our district website for more information about obtaining volunteer clearances: https://www.neshaminy.org/domain/2376
