Fall Costume Party/ Trunk or Treat

Thursday, October 29 | 1:00–5:00 PM

Carver is celebrating the Fall Season with costumes, music, games, trunk-or-treat, and light bites!

Costumes:

Students may bring costumes to school and will change at 12:30 PM. Please do not send students to school in costumes.

Please remember:

• No realistic weapons or weapon replicas

• Staff must be able to identify students' faces (no hooded masks, please)

• Costumes must allow children to walk, see, and move safely

• Label costume pieces with your child’s name

• Students should be able to manage their costumes as independently as possible

Parade + Activities:

Our costume parade begins at 1:15 PM on the main yard.

At 2:00 PM, students will begin rotating through trunk-or-treat and Beacon games and activity stations.

Trunk-or-treat will end by 2:45 PM so classes can prepare for 2:55 PM dismissal. Students enrolled in our after-school program may remain and continue enjoying the activities.

Snack Donations:

Families may help by donating individually packaged, school-friendly snacks that follow SFUSD nutrition guidelines. Each classroom has ~25 students. SFUSD encourages foods centered on fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

Good options include:

• Unsweetened applesauce or fruit cups, yogurt cups/straws

• Raisins or other dried fruit with no added candy or sugar

• Whole-grain crackers

• Pretzels

• Plain or lightly seasoned popcorn

• Baked whole-grain snack items

• Individually packaged cheese,

• Flavored water

Please do not send soda, fruit punch, sports drinks, candy-heavy treats, or homemade food.

Please do not send anything containing peanuts or tree nuts. We also serve children with known food allergies, sensitivities, and medical dietary needs. Check ingredient labels carefully, and when possible choose items clearly labeled with allergen information.

Families:

Families are welcome to watch the 1:15 PM parade from the designated family area.

To help us keep the school day safe and organized:

• Please do not enter classrooms

• Please follow staff directions for parking

• Keep the area behind the trunk-or-treat setup clear

• Trunk-or-treat is a student activity coordinated by school and Beacon staff;
