Richland Elementary will have a Halloween Parade on Friday, October 31! Students are invited to dress in costumes and parade with their classes in the back of the school on the blacktop beginning at 2:30 (weather permitting). Family members may view the parade in designated areas.
Please note:
Students should not wear costumes to school. They should bring costumes with their name and teacher’s name clearly marked.
Costumes depicting any violence or horror as seen in the movies, on the news, or in comics are not permitted.
Weapons of any kind, including metal, plastic, wood and cardboard, are not permitted.
Costumes should reflect age-appropriate characters.
Students should not wear costumes to school. They will be provided classroom time to dress in costumes in preparation for the parade.
In order to help ensure the safety and well-being of all our students and staff members, the following procedures will be followed:
Parents/Guardians can watch the parade in the back of the school. No visitors will be permitted in classrooms before or after the parade.
The parade will begin promptly at 2:30, and students will walk by grade level.
Fall classroom celebrations will occur after the parade. Only those parents who are volunteering to help with classroom celebrations will be permitted into the building. Teachers will notify those parents and provide the office a list of parents who are assisting with classroom celebrations before or after the parade.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation with these procedures. Our concern is for the safety and well-being of our students and staff members. We hope this is an enjoyable day for everyone!
