Halloween Parade & Parties Preview

Halloween will be here before we know it, so we thought we would share a few details about the day. Additional details will be shared by classroom teachers and room reps.
  • Lunch - Lunch will be at our usual time - 12:10 - 1:10 pm. We will send home a short note to all families so that we know which children will be going home for lunch, which children will be staying for lunch at school, and which children will not be participating in the Halloween parade and classroom parties. We will have one lunch period that day, and staff will assist students who need help putting on their costumes. If you take your child home for lunch, please be sure that he/she returns by 1:05 pm.
  • Parade - The parade will begin around 1:30pm. We will exit the building through the front doors and head towards Thomas Middle School via the west side of Belmont Street. We will cross Belmont at Thomas Street and return to school via the east side of Belmont Street. In the event of rain, we will bring the parade indoors. If we have to move inside, an email will go out to families around 12:50 pm.
  • Parent Volunteers - Room reps. will provide us with the names of all party volunteers ahead of time so that we can print ID badges. Only those individuals whose names appear on these lists will be able to come into the school on this day. If you plan to be a party volunteer on this day and we have never run your driver's license, please come by the school ahead of time to do so as it will speed things up on Halloween. You also need to complete a volunteer form if you did not fill one out and return it on Curriculum Night. We appreciate your cooperation. Please contact Mrs. FitzPatrick or Ms. Davis with any questions.
  • Kindergarten - Kindergarten students will follow their regular schedules on this day. AM kindergarten students will parade around to other classrooms in the morning. PM kindergarten students will join the 1:30 pm parade. Additional details will be provided by Kindergarten teachers and room reps.
