Fall Parties
Fall parties will be held on Wednesday, October 31st from 3:00-3:45. This year we will be having a costume parade for all students and staff. The parade will begin at 3:00 with the parties following the parade from 3:15-3:45 p.m. Room party parents will be allowed to go to the classrooms to set up for the parties at 2:55.
Parents will need to bring their driver’s license or another form of ID to be scanned if they have not already done so this year. Parents attending the parade will check in and then go to the playground area to observe the parade. This will allow you to view all students as they walk to their assigned areas or parade around the circle. If parents are wearing a costume, we ask that faces not be covered so that the staff can recognize parents. We also ask that the costumes not be of a “frightening” nature.
Students are allowed to BRING costumes to school that day to wear during the party. Students are not allowed to bring in fake blood or weapons; further, if masks are worn that are deemed “scary” or “inappropriate” they will be asked to remove them. All costumes MUST be ones that can be put on over their clothing. No students will be allowed to change in the bathrooms. Students should not come to school with their face painted, with costume make-up, or colored hair. Those additional accessories can be saved and used at home that evening.
Please note: If you do NOT want your child to participate in the parade and/or the Fall party please make sure to let your child’s teacher know. We will have a separate activity for those students. If you do not contact your child’s teacher, then we will presume that they will be participating.
In order to make this a fun & successful event for the students, we need the help of our Briarcliff families! Please remember the parade and parties are intended for Briarcliff children only! Siblings of any age should not be in attendance.
