Thinking Ahead to Halloween
A letter will soon come home regarding the Halloween festivities that will occur on Tuesday, October 31st, but I wanted to share a few pieces of information with you early:
- Students may NOT bring candy or other edible treats to distribute to classmates. Party food is provided by the PTA party volunteers who communicate with teachers regarding allergies and other food restrictions.
- With the exception of morning kindergarten, students may not wear their costumes to school in the morning. Teachers will allow students to put costumes on prior to the afternoon parade. Parents may pick up their children at lunch if they prefer their children put costumes on at home.
- Costumes should be school-appropriate. They should not be overly graphic, scary or violent. Weapon-look-a-like accessories cannot be brought to school. Students' faces cannot be completely covered; we need to be able to identify all students.
Please contact Mrs. Craig with any questions at jennifer.craig@cusd200.org

Please Help Us Keep our Students Safe

- Please observe our parking lot and flow zone procedures, including during BASP pick up and drop off. The driveway by door one is an entrance, not an exit.
