RBS Halloween Parade

By -
Again this year, our Halloween Parade will take place on Halloween day at 1:30 PM. (Morning Kindergarten students who do not go to K+ are welcome to join us!).  Given the magnitude of the event, below are some guidelines to follow:
  • Due to lack of space and time, costumes that slip on right over your child’s clothes are necessary.  Try to imagine 120 kids all waiting to use the three stalls in the bathroom...yikes, talk about scary!
  • No weapons or accessories that need to be carried (swords, guns, witches’ brooms, magic wands)
  • No make-up, please.  We will not have time to apply it at school.
  • In order to respect the sensitivities of all our K-4 students, please do not send in costumes or masks with blood, guts or gore (masks that “leak” blood).  Very scary or gory masks will not be allowed to be worn.
  • Send your child’s costume to school in a clearly labeled bag.  You may also want to label the costume.
  • If parents would like to see the parade, please arrive at our school yard before 1:30 because we will be closing our parking lot entrance at that time. 
  • Parents can line the parade route on the island, sidewalk, and down near the playground. 
  • If parents want to dismiss their children, they need to go to the classroom to sign them out AFTER the parade is over. Last year, it was much too chaotic having such a high number of dismissals in the office.
  • If your child will be going to parent pick up, please enter through the gym as you normally do.
