As Halloween approaches, we would like to remind families our goal for the day is to enjoy this opportunity in an inclusive way while keeping our focus on learning. To ensure a fun and inclusive experience for everyone on October 31 and November 1, please consider the following guidelines:

• Costumes - Students are welcome to wear costumes on Thursday, Oct 31 if they wish. 
• No Masks or Weapons – To minimize distractions, we ask that students refrain from wearing masks or bringing faux weapons as they are an added distraction from learning. 
• Costume Considerations: If a costume is overly cumbersome (like large inflatable costumes) we ask that it be worn for only part of the day to help maintain a productive learning environment. 
• Treats - On Friday, November 1 we kindly request that students bring only a small amount of treats for snacks or lunch, as we know that good nutrition supports learning. 

Thank you for your support. We hope everyone that celebrates Halloween has a safe and fun evening.
