On Halloween, kids should arrive in their regular clothes - there will be time to change into costumes that afternoon.
All costumes should be appropriate for the entire community - please be considerate of our younger Pre-K kiddos that will be present.
No masks or weapons are allowed.
And thanks to last year's fundraising, all classroom Halloween, Winter and Valentine's Day parties will be funded by the PTA!
