Hallowe'en Day Checklist

Here are a few things to keep in mind when preparing your child for Hallowe'en Day at school.

-please do not send your child to school in his/her costume in the morning

-plan to pick your child up around noon and take him/her home to dress and get into makeup

-have your child back at school by 1:35

-if you cannot pick your child up to dress at home, pack his/her costume in their backpack in a well-labelled plastic bag

-be sure that masks and head coverings have good sight lines and proper ventilation. Makeup is the best option for safety

-avoid choosing costumes that are overly gory and frightening. Some younger children are easily frightened

-if you are providing snacks for the afternoon party, consider healthy options. Reread the earlier post for suggestions

-make plans to remain at school to watch the costume parade...and don't forget to bring your camera
