Let's Chat Halloween @ Harvey
Let's Chat Halloween Costumes:
Halloween is a time of year where some of our students get super excited about picking out their Halloween costumes, and as parents/guardians we know that sometimes those "popular" costumes are hard to find the longer we wait to go shopping (I swear I start seeing Halloween costumes in stores before it is even considered "fall"). With that being said I thought it may be helpful for you to have an idea of what those "school appropriate" costumes are here at Jack Harvey. Keep in mind, or as I like to put things in perspective with my older students.... we have students as young as 4-5 years old and while some costumes are "age appropriate for them", they may not be appropriate for the all school parade. After reading the guidelines below if you have any questions regarding suitability, please contact the office or your student's teacher.
- Students should refrain from violent characterization and may not use any fake weapons, fake blood, or any references to victims or perpetrators of violence for their costume choice at school. Violent characterization is unacceptable for school parades and where younger students might be frightened. If deemed inappropriate by school personnel, students will be asked to remove the costume and/or wash off makeup.
- Book, cartoon, folk heroes, historical figures, and period costumes are all good ideas to consider when thinking of the perfect costume.
- Since Halloween is a half day of school (12:09 dismissal), students will be allowed to wear costumes to school. Check to be sure that your student can walk freely, and that the costume will be comfortable enough for the classroom setting. Masks should be left at home. Plan to have your child bring any costume props (wigs and other add-ons) to school in a bag or backpack.
HALLOWEEN OUTLINE
We have a half-day on Halloween. We have dismissal at 12:09. Please work with your student's teacher on if there are any volunteering opportunities for that day. Remember, you must complete a background check through RAPTOR in order to volunteer. There will be a table when you walk in where you will be asked to sign in BEFORE walking to your student's classroom. We are hoping to have an outdoor parade if the weather cooperates. If it is forecasted to rain, we will parade indoors similar to last school year where families will be seated in the gym. We expect the parade to begin at 11:00am. Families may sign out with their teacher to take their children home after the parade.
**We will make an announcement for family members who have signed up to volunteer in their student's classroom to make their way to the gym or outside for the parade.
Finally, we are aware that many of our families will want to view our parade. If the parking lot is full, you are more than welcome to park in the sub in the back or next to our school.
Character Strong October- Responsibility
This month our school will be focusing on the character trait of responsibility. Students will be learning what it means to make good choices, take care of their belongings, complete their work on time, and contribute positively to our school community. We encourage you to talk with your child about ways they can show responsibility at home and at school, as we work together to help our students grow into responsible and caring individuals.
Here are a few questions you can use as conversation starters with your child:
-
What does being responsible look like at school? At home?
-
Can you share a time today when you showed responsibility?
-
What happens if someone doesn’t act responsibly?
-
What’s one new way you want to show responsibility this month?
Thank you for your continued partnership and support!
