Halloween School Guidelines
Halloween is fast approaching, and we are preparing Graebner Elementary School for a safe and healthy morning with our children on Thursday, October 31, 2018. As you are well aware, SAFETY is a priority at school. We aim to ensure that ALL students, staff members, and visitors feel comfortable throughout the day with the attire and behavior of all persons on school grounds. To accomplish this objective, we request your assistance and cooperation on some important details.
Our annual Halloween parade will be on Thursday, October 31, 2018 and will begin promptly at 10:35 a.m. Please do not arrive before 10:15am and we ask adults to stay outside, unless you have made prior arrangements with the teacher.
The parade will start in the inside of the building led by Mrs. Wood and continue through Graebner picking up each class at their inside door. After all classes have been picked up, the parade will continue through the gym and outside where we will take one lap around the exterior of Graebner and enter through Doors 1 and 8 on the eastside of the building. Students will then be led back into the building to their classroom with their classroom teacher. If you would like to take your student home at this time, please check them out outside of the office. Please feel free to bring your camera and take as many pictures as you would like. This is an exciting time for our students, parents, and community members!
Please read carefully the following information below to become familiar with our guidelines for this awesome day:
Note: If the weather does not permit us to going outside, we will hold the parade inside and will proceed counter clockwise through the gym for parents and guests to view the parade.
· Please choose a costume that does not reflect violence. Inappropriate “props” such a Dracula’s
blood, plastic swords, clown masks, guns, knives, and weapons of any kind are not allowed –
even if they are a part of your child’s costume.
· Please save them for supervised activities at home. No masks are to be worn in the classroom
but can be worn during the parade.
· Students should wear their costumes to school.
· All adults are asked to stay outside, unless you have made prior arrangements with the teacher.
· In case of inclement weather, parents will be asked to report to the gymnasium and lobby
area near the gym and main office to view the parade.
