Classroom Parties

At the school’s discretion, classroom parties may be held on certain holidays and special occasions. Due to allergy concerns, food will not be allowed at class parties. 

Halloween

Students are permitted to wear costumes on Halloween as long as their attire complies with the student appearance policy and meets the following set of expectations for a school setting:  

  • Children should not wear bloody, gruesome, or especially scary costumes. Fake blood is not allowed.
  • Actual weapons, look-alike weapons, toy weapons or weapon-like objects are not allowed.
  • Masks that cover the face and head should not be worn during the  school day -- only during costume parades. 
  • Costume make-up is allowed if it does not cover the student’s entire face. Staff members must be able to identify students.
  • Costumes that could be offensive or perpetuate a stereotype about someone’s culture, gender, heritage or religion are not allowed. 

Alternative activities will be available for students whose parents/guardians do not want their children to participate in Halloween celebrations.

Birthdays

Treats provided in celebration of a child’s birthday must be non-edible. The classroom teacher will determine the best time to distribute them. If you are planning a party for your child at home, please do not distribute invitations at school.
