NPE’s annual Halloween Parade will be held on Friday, October 31. The procession of classes will begin at approximately 9:05 AM on our back field weather permitting). Grades K-2 will process first, followed by Grades 3-5 at approximately 9:15 AM.

Parents are welcome to join on the outside of the cones marking the parade area. Each class will process around the field twice before returning inside the building. Kindergarten families will receive a separate communication with specific plans for AM and PM Kindergarten.

We ask that parents use your best judgment about your child’s choice of costume. However, as always, NO GUNS OR OTHER TOY WEAPONS may be carried.

Your cooperation is greatly appreciated in this matter. Families who do not wish their child to participate in the parade should contact the classroom teacher via email or note, so we are able to make alternative arrangements. Thank you!!

During the week of October 27th-31st NPE will raise student awareness about healthy choices as we recognize The 3 to Be at NPE and celebrate Red Ribbon Week. We will emphasize how students can be Safe, be Respectful, and make Responsible choices as part of our anti-drug and healthy choices campaign. For additional information and schedule, please review the file found below:
