Hallowe'en Costume Parade 

in Kindergarten

Parents and relatives are invited to our Parnall School Kindergarten Hallowe'en Costume Parade. It will be held tomorrow morning just after announcements (9:00 AM ish). The parade will begin in the gymnasium where parents are asked to assemble. The children will parade all around the gym and then they will march throughout the school, visiting each classroom along the way. 

Please pack your child a change of play clothes in his/her backpack. Following the parade, the children will change out of their costumes and into regular school clothing. Include a plastic bag for your child's costume to be placed into. We will do our best to make sure that costumes are packed safely in each of their backpacks so that they can be worn tomorrow night.

Have a safe and happy Hallowe'en! 

Unpredictable Weather / 

Extra Clothing Needed

Over the next several weeks, the weather promises to be unpredictable at best. Temperatures will fluctuate and humidity levels will be high. Some of the children in the classroom have been complaining that they are cold and need warmer clothes to wear when playing outside. Please send your child to school with layerable clothing so that they will be warm and comfortable over these mid-autumn days. We also recommend that children have a hat, scarf and mittens each day, just in case they need them. And, as always, LABEL EVERYTHING! Thank you.

Party Snacks

Last Friday, October 19th, a special note was sent home in your child's Mr. Zip Bag detailing a schedule for party snacks and food choices for the remaining months of the school year. Historically, parents have sent in various snacks and foods for special days such as Hallowe'en, Christmas, Valentine's Day, Easter and the End of the Year Party. Much of the time, the amount of food sent in has been overwhelming. Sadly, the children often have a few bites and the rest ends up in the garbage can. This year, we have tried to solve that problem by assigning each family with one of those celebrations mentioned above. We have indicated a treat that you might want to send in, as well. We want to make this a shared experience for our K-1 families and we do not want to overburden anyone. If your assigned snack/date are a concern, please get in touch with us. If you are satisfied with what we have proposed, then there is no need to reply.

Thank you for considering this 'new approach' to holiday party foods/treats. We appreciate the contributions you make to these celebrations. The children enjoy them and so do we. We simply want to eliminate waste and avoid 'over-sugaring' the children as much as we can.

Thank you.
