Onondaga Road School
Halloween Parade!
Friday, October 31, 2:00 p.m.
Friday, October 31, 2:00 p.m.
We
will run our normal, daily school schedule until 1:30. Our parade will begin at 2:00 on Halloween
Day. Please follow these important guidelines to make the day a safe and happy
one for all of our children.
- Please send your child’s costume
to school in a bag. Do not
send your child to school in costume or wearing make-up. All scary,
violent, bloody masks, weapons, spears or other dangerous accessories are
not appropriate for school and must remain at home. Our youngest students
can be frightened easily, and we want them to have a positive experience.
- Spectators for the parade will stand in the bus loop in front of the school. We will block that area from traffic. Please do not stand on the sidewalk in front of the building, because the students will be parading the entire length of the sidewalk.
- Halloween parties will be held in the classrooms after the parade. Only adults who are already designated helpers will be permitted into the classrooms during the parties, and those helpers must sign in at the main office and wear a visible visitor’s badge. Helpers are asked not to bring younger children. All treats should have a label so that they can be checked, as we have many students with allergies.
- If you are a helper or plan dress up to attend the parade, please avoid wearing masks. Naturally, we must be able to recognize everyone who is interacting with our children.
- Please encourage your child to ride the bus home. Minimizing the car traffic at the end of the day will help us get the children to their buses safely. Children will not wear their costumes on the buses but will have plenty of time and assistance to remove their costumes before dismissal. We will follow normal dismissal procedures.
- As always, if you must pick up
your child due to other appointments at any time, please be sure to sign
him or her out in the main office.
Thank you,
Jeannette Clark
