THE RACCOON TRIBUNE

Dear Parents,

As we progress through the school year, the Livermore Police Department would like to remind everyone to be mindful of the residents living in the neighborhoods surrounding our schools, particularly during morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up times.

Please be considerate when parking and avoid blocking driveways, parking in red zones, or parking near fire hydrants. Additionally, please do not block ADA-accessible curb ramps located at intersection corners, as these are essential for pedestrians, particularly those with disabilities.

We understand that school drop-off and pick-up times can be busy but taking a few extra moments to park legally and safely helps protect our students, maintain access for emergency vehicles, and minimize disruptions to nearby residents.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping keep our school neighborhoods safe and accessible for everyone.

District Halloween Costume Protocols:

• No weapons or replica weapons

• No blood or gore

• No skates or roller blades

• Costume masks may be worn during parades only

In addition, all costumes must comply with the District's student dress code policy (AR 5332), which states:

"Clothing, accessories, and jewelry shall be free of writing, pictures, symbols or any other insignia which are crude, vulgar, profane, obscene, libelous, slanderous, or sexually suggestive. Clothing, accessories, or jewelry that degrade any cultural, religious, or ethnic values, that advocate racial, ethnic, or religious prejudice or discrimination, or that promote sex, the use of tobacco, drugs, or alcohol, or any unlawful acts are prohibited."

Thank you for helping ensure our students and families are aware of these guidelines as they prepare for Halloween celebrations.

If you received a physical copy of your pictures, please return if you plan to take retakes.

🚗 Important: Automobile Insurance Requirement

Families bringing a vehicle onto campus for Trunk or Treat will need to provide a copy of their current automobile insurance declaration page showing liability coverage of at least $100,000 per person/$300,000 per accident (100/300).

You may email a copy of your insurance declaration page to Kristen Caron at kcaron@lvjusd.org or bring a copy to the Rancho Elementary office.

Please note: Some insurance companies may allow you to temporarily increase your coverage to 100/300 for a single day. We recommend checking with your insurance provider if your current policy does not meet this requirement.

We'll be selling Rancho Trunk or Treat bags to hold all your goodies on Wednesday, 10/28 and Friday, 10/30 after school, while supplies last! New design coming!

Bring your Halloween spirit and your best trunk-decorating ideas! We can’t wait to see everyone for a fun night of treats, costumes, food, and community. We hope to see you there!

Happy Halloween! 👻🎃
