  Please help your students select costumes that support our efforts to provide a positive and fun environment. Please also keep in mind that our youngest students may get scared easily by the costumes of older students and we want this to be a fun event for all.
  
  Thank you for following our school-wide costume guidelines:

  • Costumes may not include weapons or representations of weapons
  • Costumes may not have excessive blood or gore
  • Costumes must be culturally sensitive
  • Costumes should not perpetuate racial, cultural, and/or gender stereotypes

  A Note About Photos
  All parents, friends, guests are welcome to take photos from their seats on the bleachers during the Halloween parade. Please do not get up to take photos. Each class will have designated photographers who will take photos of every student during the parade.
    
  If you have specific questions, please ask your child’s teacher. We look forward to a "spooktacular" event!
