Reminder: EVCS Halloween Policy
With Halloween fast approaching, we wanted to remind our families of our Halloween policy here at EVCS:
No costumes or Halloween masks are permitted in school.
Classrooms may choose a "fall-themed" class celebration instead. Look out for communication from your child's teacher regarding any fall celebrations.
If you wish to send in a treat, please reach out to your child's teacher first. We have many students with food allergies and safety is our top priority. Healthy options are always a good choice.
