To: North Lawn Parents and Guardians
Halloween parties will be held from 2:30 to 3:15 PM, on Thursday, October 31st. Parents are welcome to come to the classrooms at this time. Students will NOT be allowed to wear their costumes to school. Students will change into their costumes at 1:00 PM and leave at 1:30 PM to walk to the nearby nursing homes. In the case of inclement weather we will not be traveling to the nursing homes.
Reminders regarding Halloween Costumes
Students are not allowed to have anything in their costume that would promote violence or tragedy (i.e, no weapons, guns, etc.).
Dress code will be enforced.
If guidelines are not followed children will not be allowed to participate in our activities until they change or alter their costume.
Thank you for your cooperation, understanding and adherence to the guidelines. We are excited about this activity for our students and are looking forward to a fun and safe Halloween.
