Rainy weather may impact our annual Halloween parade this year for our K - 3rd grade students. Adjustments will be made as follows:
If NOT raining, students can wear their costume to school and the parade will begin at 8:40 a.m. As in previous years, we will begin at the Kindergarten exit on Barkley Street, go down the sidewalk to Halifax Street, then up Del Mar to McClellan, then back to campus. Students will change back into their regular clothes after the parade and resume their normal school day.
If it IS raining in the morning, the parade will be postponed to 1:45 p.m. Students are asked to bring their costume to school and change into it before the parade. We will follow the same route. If it's raining at 1:45, the parade will unfortunately be cancelled.
The bus for the 3rd grade GT students will arrive at MacArthur at 9:20 a.m. that day so those students can participate in the parade (morning or afternoon).
Reminders: We will walk for a while, so please make sure your child is wearing comfortable shoes. For student safety, School Board policy states that no simulated weapons are allowed on school campuses, therefore, if your child’s costume comes with a simulated weapon, please leave it at home. Gory masks are not allowed. Please send a large paper or plastic bag to school with your child that day to carry their costume, projects and papers.
