Halloween Parade and Festivities– Monday, October 31, 2022

Thank you to all of our parent volunteers for reaching out and helping our students cross the street. Please refer to the School talk message for our parade route, timing of the event, and meeting location. We invite families to join us for the parade! We are aware that rain is forecasted in the weather for tomorrow. In the event of rain or other inclement weather, we will send a School talk message with an update on the status of the parade.

Final reminders for Monday:

• Please  ensure that your child’s costume is easy to wear independently since we will not have the space and/or staffing to help students change.
• Please leave accessories at home. If the parent wishes to participate in the parade with us, you can bring accessories and hand off to the student along the parade route and collect once we have returned to school.
• All students will re- enter the building with us after the parade and follow the same dismissal procedures. We will not dismiss students from the parade to ensure that we have accounted for all of our students after the parade.

Playground Demolition Update: We are awaiting final confirmation from Lubber Run Community Center on their availability to host our students for recess. While we wait, we will be remaining on Barrett grounds for recess. We are seeking additional parent volunteers to support supervision during recess. We will share a sign up link via Schooltalk this week for interested parents.
