A Note From the Office
We are looking forward to having a great Halloween this year at Grove! Below is information regarding our Halloween festivities; please read the section about costumes carefully.
Lunch – October 31st
- At 11:00 a.m., students may be picked up if it is easier for them to dress and eat lunch at home. Please do not expect your child to leave before 11:00 a.m.
- Students do not need to be signed out, but if you plan on picking your child up for lunch, be sure to send a note to your child’s teacher.
- There will be adults supervising the parking lot during the 11:00 pick-up and by the Grove entrance. Please focus on safety!
- Students should return to school at 12:30 p.m.
- If your child is staying at school for lunch, please send your child's costume to school. Lunch and recess for students staying at school will remain the same and students will change into their costumes following lunch and recess.
Parade – October 31st
- Our kindergarten classes will wear costumes to school and have their parties in the morning before the a.m. students leave to go home. Morning kindergarteners are invited to return for the parade in the afternoon.
- Our parade for grades K-5 will begin at 1 P.M. and will follow the route below:
o Leave from the Grove door and travel north to Wisconsin.
o Travel east on Wisconsin to Summit.
o Travel south on Summit to Yale.
o Travel west on Yale to Cook.
o Travel north on Cook to our parking lot entrance.
o We love parents and guests cheering us on.
- We will be back at school at about 1:30
- If it rains, we will parade in the school hallways.
Party – October 31st – 1:30-2:30 p.m.
- After the parade, students will return to classrooms for our fabulous room parties organized by our PTO room parents.
Costumes
Please review the following guidelines when selecting a school Halloween costume for this year:
- Students in kindergarten may wear their costumes to school in the morning.
- Students in 1st-5th Grades should not wear costumes to school, as they will go home to change into costumes or change after lunch and recess.
- Consider safety and the appropriateness of a costume for an elementary school.
- Costumes involving fake blood or violent attributes are not allowed.
- Look-alike weapons are prohibited on school grounds as noted in the student handbook.
- Masks are a safety concern, and therefore, will not be allowed.
- Please keep face paint to a minimum as students need to be easily recognized and often become uncomfortable. Examples of appropriate face paint include: cat whiskers, Harry Potter’s scar, “eye black” on an athlete, etc.
We hope to create a safe and fun event for our students, so thank you for your cooperation!
