Halloween Party

Families, 

Tuesday 10/31/23 is our Halloween Party from 10:15-11:15. The First Grade Halloween parade will be on the playground at 10:30. Please send your child’s costume to school in a bag with their name on it. It is helpful to talk with your child about how to put their costume on. We prefer students to put their costume on over their clothing so they can put it on in the classroom. We have limited space and privacy for students to change in the bathroom. We will put costumes back in the bag after our party. Please do not send weapons or face paint to school. 

Thank you,

The First Grade Team
