Good afternoon, Dragon families!

Tomorrow is our Halloween Parade.

We expect to begin upstairs at approximately 9:30 am.

Students will start the parade upstairs and then move through the downstairs classes.

They will exit the school by the undercover area by the portable, and loop into the gym, where they will go around the gym before walking back to their classrooms.

If you would like to watch the parade, we will have a ‘Family viewing area’ in the middle of the gym. Alternatively, you may watch from the stage.

Please remember about costume guidelines for school tomorrow:

Choose costumes that are fun and respectful. This demonstrates kindness, respect, and care for everyone in our school and aligns with our code of conduct.

Costumes that use traditional clothing, cultural symbols, or stereotypes can hurt people, even if we don’t mean to, and show disrespect to members of our community.

Students whose costumes are harmful to others will, at the very least, be asked to change or remove them.

Masks and any other items that prevent students from being identified will not be permitted outside of the Halloween Parade. Please make sure any mask worn for the Halloween Parade fits well and allows your child to see easily.

Costumes must not include weapons, replica weapons or objects that can be mistaken as weapons.

If using makeup, choose non-toxic cosmetic products and test on a small area first to see if any irritation occurs.

Finally, thank you for remembering that treats must be onion, tree nut, cashew and peanut free due to severe airborne allergies.

Individual classes may have additional food guidelines due to classroom allergies that also need to be respected.

Thank you for helping to ensure that Halloween is a fun, safe and respectful celebration for our entire Dragon community!
