Students should wear their costumes to school and bring clothes to change into at the end of our celebration. Halloween is a free dress day. Face paint, hair dye, and any simulation of a weapon are not allowed as part of a costume. We do not monitor masks.

Schedule for the Day

• 8:30 am - Parade begins

• Outside Parade Route: Visitors wanting to watch should line up outside on the field west of the school along the parade route, which circles the entire athletic field. Kindergarten, 1st grade, and 2nd grade will leave our front doors and walk clockwise around the field. The 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th grades will exit the building and walk counterclockwise around the field.

• Inclement Weather Parade Procedures: Visitors wanting to watch may enter the building and gather in Town Center and watch as classes parade through our hallways. Parents may head to classrooms for celebrations after the parade.

• 9:00 - 9:45 am - Classroom Parties

• 9:50 am - Regular classroom instruction begins

Each year, Douglas County Schools conducts vision and hearing screenings for all students in the state-mandated grades (K, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, and 9), as well as new students and special education students in all grades. The screenings are overseen by the School Nurse Consultants and conducted by the District Vision and Hearing Screening Team. The purpose of mass screenings is to detect academically significant vision and hearing concerns.
