The Halloween Tradition Continues at Avoca West!
The annual Halloween Costume Parade will take place at 1:15 p.m. Monday, October 31st.
All parents are invited to watch our parade.  It will be held outdoors, weather permitting – otherwise it will be indoors.

Parties start at 1:45 p.m. for grades 1st-5th.
Kindergarten parties start a bit earlier due to their schedule.  Please check with your child’s teacher for specifics!

A reminder should be given to all students for a safe and enjoyable Halloween celebration at school.  Please go over the following with your child for the day of Halloween:
•    Students should not bring toy weapons or dangerous props of any kind with their costumes.
•    Masks should not be worn on the bus or while coming to or from school.
•    Make-up can be applied at school (preferably by an adult), so parent volunteers are welcomed and encouraged.
•    Students will have regular recess & physical education classes throughout the day, so we encourage that costumes not be worn to school.
•    All students will change into their costumes after lunchtime.
•    If you need to assist your child in getting his/her costume on, please let your child’s teacher know beforehand.
•    All students should remember to stay together and in line during the parade.

Please send a bag to school for your child’s treats.

Remember, as always, no judging of costumes is done; all are great!

Thank you!
