K-5 COSTUME PARADE INFORMATION
Our annual Costume Parade is coming this week! This year the
parade will be held on Friday, October 31st at 2:15 PM. Students
who choose to wear costumes for the parade should wear their
costumes over regular school clothes so that the children can
easily take them off in the classrooms or when going to the
restroom. Teachers have sent information about specific
guidelines for each grade level.
If your child’s costume has fake weapons, masks or any other
prop that must be carried in the hand of the student, please
leave this part at home, as this type of prop is not allowed at
school. Also, if the student’s costume requires extravagant
make-up or sprayed hair do not put on the make-up for school.
Save the props and make-up for the evening fun on Friday
night! Please remember that we have young children who scare
easily so no scary or gory costumes are allowed.
On this exciting day, we will have a gathering around the
front circle area where we conduct morning carline, to allow
children to parade with their classes. The parade will start
promptly at 2:15 PM. You are welcome to stop by (and certainly
dress up if you like) to join us in some old fashioned fun! . Please
make sure to stand behind the classes so we have a safe and
clear parade route –thanks for your help!
If you wish to take your child home after the parade,
please be sure to sign out with the classroom teacher. The
parade should be over by 2:45 PM. We thank you in advance for
your support in helping your child follow the rules about
costumes. We know this is their holiday and they look forward
to showing off, safely and so that no little ones are scared.

HALLOWEEN SAFETY
TIPS
Monroe County Sheriff’s Office Press Release October 22, 2014 Halloween is a special time for children, but children don’t always know what is and is not safe. If your children are going trick or treating on Halloween, there are several tips to follow for their safety. •
Make sure they wear light colored costumes with plenty of reflective tape so they are visible to cars and trucks. Take
a flashlight along for added visibility.
•
Look left, right and left again when crossing the street.
•
Put electronic devices away so there are no distractions.
•
If possible, have them go while it is still light outside.
•
They should be accompanied by an adult, or an older brother or sister.
•
Enter homes only if you're with a trusted adult. Only visit well-lit houses. Don't stop at dark houses. Never accept
rides from strangers.
•
They should not sample candy given to them until it has been checked by an adult for possible tampering.
•
Notify a deputy if suspicious or harmful items are found in your child’s collection of treats.
•
They should stay away from homes with dogs loose in the yard.
•
Having a Halloween party is a good alternative to the tradition of trick or treating. It gives kids an opportunity to have
a good time in a supervised and safe atmosphere.
Tips for people driving on Halloween: •
Slow down and be especially alert in residential neighborhoods. Children are excited on Halloween and may dart in
front of cars when crossing the street.
•
Take extra time and look carefully for kids at intersections, on medians and on curbs.
•
Enter and exit driveways slowly and carefully.
•
Eliminate any distractions inside your car so you can concentrate on the road and your surroundings.
•
Drive slowly, anticipate heavy pedestrian traffic and turn your headlights on earlier in the day to spot children from
greater distances.
•
Popular trick-or-treating hours are 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. so be especially alert for kids during those hours
And a few tips for pet owners: • Don't leave your pet o ut in the yard on Halloween: There are plenty of pranksters who will go out of their way to tease pets and you d on’t want your dog to bite a trick-­‐or-­‐treater who might venture too close. • Trick-­‐or-­‐treat candy is not for pets: Chocolate is poisonous to many animals, and tin foil and cellophane candy wrappers can be hazardous if swallowed by your pet. • Be careful your cat or dog doesn't dart out through the open door when you open it for trick or treaters.
