Notes for the Upcoming Week
Halloween Parade (Monday, October 31)
- The Samuel Mickle School will host its annual Halloween costume parade on Monday, October 31 at 2:00 p.m. You are invited to watch the students parade outside along the parade route in their Halloween costumes. The Mickle parking lot and the overflow lot will be available for parking. Members of the East Greenwich Police Department will be present to direct and assist when parking.
- The Mickle student costume parade route will be roped off and in a loop in front of the Samuel Mickle school. Students will enter the parade route from the Samuel Mickle main entrance, proceed towards the LGI, make a turn towards the bus lanes, proceed up the bus lanes, and then parade back towards the front entrance of the school. To ensure the safety of our students, we ask that you please remain behind the roped-off areas at all times and to please leave pets at home. In considering your child’s costumes, please note that costume weapons of any type are not permitted at school.
- In the event of inclement weather on this date, the outdoor parade will be canceled and parents will be notified by Realtime message. Due to capacity limits, only students and staff will participate in an indoor parade
