What we will do this week
Field Trip
Halloween Parade and Party Information
We will be having a costume parade at 10:00/2:00 on Friday, October 31st. Children may wear their costumes to school or bring them in their backpacks. Please do not send handheld items (swords, wands, etc). Also, we cannot allow the children to wear a mask that covers their face (safety issues). Great Beginnings’ Partners in Education and staff from Central Office will be here to hand out candy! Please send your child with something to carry their candy in or we can provide them with a bag here at school. We allow each child to select one piece of candy to eat and then put the full bag in their backpack to take home – be sure to look for it!! Parents you are welcome to come to see our parade and or walk through the parade with your little one. Bring your cameras. Immediately after the parade each classroom will return to their rooms and have some more fun. You are welcome to join us for this, but by district policy we CANNOT accommodate other children in the classroom for our party
