**Friday, October 31st will be a very busy day! Our classroom Halloween parties and school Halloween parade will be held in the afternoon. Parents who are helping and have clearances on file will be able to enter the building at 1:00pm. The parade will begin at 2:00pm. Parties will end by 3:00. Your child should NOT wear his/her costume to school! Please send the costume to school in a bag with your child’s name on the outside. Students will get dressed in costumes with the help of teachers and homeroom helpers.
