Please fill out our survey so we can let you know when volunteer opportunities

line up with your availability.

• Regular school dress codes apply
• No masks, gore, weapons, or full face makeup
• Students must be able to use the restroom independently
• Costumes must allow the student to sit in their desk/table normally and must not be distracting to the learning environment (ex: no blow up costumes that cover the face)
• PE will still happen, so please make sure students have appropriate PE shoes

If your family does not celebrate Halloween, please let your child's teacher know.
