Halloween Party: Everything a Parent Might Want To Know

The Halloween Party is just a week away. Has your student signed up for the costume or pumpkin-carving contest? Got all those tricks and treats?

Here's a bullet point list of what to expect next week. Keep these following dates and times in mind.

Wednesday October 27:
Last day for turning in costume (gr 1-7) and pumpkin-carving contest (gr K-7) slips

Costume contest groups will be limited to classes that are going to the same party (1-3 and 4-7), so a third-grader can’t be in a group with a fourth-grader ... they won’t be together for the judging. Teachers are the judges; winners will be announced at the end of the school day (or Monday if we run out of time).

Friday, October 29:
Before 9:00 A.M.: Kids should deliver their carved pumpkins to the gym
9:30-10:30 A.M.: Kindergarten & Preschool Party (in the gym)
10:30-11:30 A.M.: First- through Third-grade Party (in the gym)
1:30-2:30 P.M.: Fourth- through Seventh-grade Party (in the gym)

Preschoolers and kindergarteners should pre-pay $5 so they don’t have to deal with money at the party. (Send in a marked envelope to your teacher.) Popcorn and a drink are included in this cost. Older kids should also come with a marked money envelope/ziploc to the gym that day, but in general, follow your individual teacher's instructions here.

● Fish Pond-50¢
● Ring Toss-25¢

Each teacher will let you know their preference: come dressed up, or bring the costume and change into it before the party. Please watch for this important communication from your child's teacher!

Have a happy and safe Halloween!
