Halloween Parties
It is almost Halloween! Halloween parties will be on the morning of Oct. 29.
Below are details/expectations:
- Halloween will only be discussed, celebrated, etc during the party (not leading up to or after the party)
- We will have a parade and a simple party (healthy snack, treat, craft)
- The parade will start at 8:45 - the weather looks great this year, so we are going to parade around the blacktop behind the school. Parents are welcome to go grab a seat for the parade before student drop-off.
- Parties will be held in classrooms immediately after the parade and will conclude by 10:00 am
- We ask that immediate family only attend the parade and festivities. Families members can stay for the party but if it gets too crowded teachers may need to ask families to leave. Stott is not a very large building and crowds are less than ideal with COVID concerns.
- Families should not come in costume if it covers the face for safety reasons.
Student Costume Expectations:
- Students should come to school in costume, as there will not be time to change before the parade/parties. All students must change out of their costumes after the party is over.
- Costumes should limit the amount of blood and gore.
- No weapons of any kind are allowed as part of the costume
- Make-up and colored hair should also be kept to a minimum. Any make-up must be washed off after the party.
- Costumes must be appropriate for school. Inappropriate or demeaning costumes will not be allowed.
For our families that do not celebrate Halloween, we ask that you come to school at 10:00 when parties have concluded. The rest of the day will be a regular school day, with lots of learning happening.
