Please bring exact cash or a check made out to Zitzman Elementary to complete the registration process.

All students are welcome to wear or bring their costume on Thursday October 31st.

We will have a school wide parade either through the hallways or outside (weather pending) to showcase our holiday spirit towards the end of the school day.

The parade will be from 2:00 - 3:00pm.

Students will start the parade by grade level and we will dismiss them to the parade area (weather permitting) starting with Kindergarten @ 2:00pm. We will walk the perimeter of the big playground or the hallways. Once all grade levels have been 'dismissed' to start their parade route we will enjoy the walk and seeing all our friends. At the end of the parade loop, the classes will head back to their rooms. If you would like to sign your student out after the parade, there will be clipboards and staff members (one for each grade level) to help sign out your students. We will have a waiting area for you to meet your student once they have all their things from their classroom.

You are welcome to join and watch our parade if you would like - if it is outside we will allow you to line the fence area. If it is inside, we will allow parents to line the perimeter of the gym.

*We hope to start our normal dismissal time at 3:35pm.

There are two options when thinking about your student and their costume on 10/31.

1. Your student can wear their costume to school. This option would mean they are able to use the restroom on their own, without any zipper or assistance, when needing to go. They are still able to learn and complete work as needed in their costume.

2. Your student can bring their costume. If your student brings their costume, there will be time dedicated before the school parade for them to change into. This option would only be doable if your student is able to dress themselves into their own costume independently.

General MVR3 Guidelines to be aware of and follow:

-No weapon or toys/accessories

-No face paint or masks

-No Inflatable costumes (these are unsafe in a school setting, causing a tripping hazard along with other worries)

-No scary or gory like costumes

Zitzman Elementary School Absentee/Retake Day Picture Day is:
