Our Halloween Parade is Coming!

Please carefully read this newsletter for information regarding our upcoming Spirit Week +1 and Halloween parade.

Dear Forest Hill Families,

We are excited to announce that we will be holding our annual Halloween Parade this year on Monday, October 31st, from 8:30am-9:30am (end time is tentative). Parents will be allowed to attend our parade this year, and we ask you read below for guidelines.

Prior to Halloween week, our Student Leadership Group (Student Council) has come up with a Spirit Week +1 event that will start October 24th. See the attached PDF for information.

For the parade, we ask that upon drop off, parents exit campus. This will allow us space to get our classes established on the blacktop. We will have one point of entry and exit, which will be the side gate, in between the new and old administration buildings. Our front office staff will open the gates at 8:25am so parents may re-enter the campus. Each grade level group will take one lap around the blacktop counterclockwise, starting with TK and ending with 5th grade and our staff. Parents will line-up behind the classes to watch the parade.

Once the parade ends, if you are not staying to help your child’s teacher, we ask you to promptly leave campus. If you are staying to help in your child’s class, we ask that you visit the table outside the office to sign in and get a visitor’s badge to wear, then sign back out when you leave campus.

Costume guidelines: No gore, no blood, no weapons. Students will change out of their costumes after the parade. If your child’s costume has a mask, please ensure the mask properly fits AND your child can clearly see out of the eye holes. If the teacher feels it is unsafe to wear the mask, they may make adjustments to your child’s costume. Inflatable costumes are OK, as long as it is safe for your child to walk. If your family does not celebrate Halloween, please communicate with your child’s teacher. They are not required to walk in the parade, and it is your choice if you want your child to wear festive attire for the day.

Please remember that we highly discourage candy on campus and ask that the days following Halloween, you not send your child to school with candy for snack or lunch.

With spooky regards,

Miss Chalfant, Principal

Mrs. Armann, Assistant Principal
