Halloween Day Info

Hello 301 Parents!!

 I hope everyone enjoyed our first day OFF this school year!! It was definitely a surprise to me this morning, as I was on my way to Dublin when the fan out called from Dublin. I had a note that was going to go home with the kids today reminding everyone about our schedule for the day on Friday.

 All students should BRING their costumes to school for our party but come to school in regular clothes. If you have not sent in your $3 yet for the party, please do so tomorrow as well.

 From about 9:20-10:00am we will be in the Old Gym for a Magician Assembly. The rest of our morning will look as usual, and if possible, please have Nolan still bring in his snack and show-and-tell tomorrow for our Snack Leader. If you are not able, we do have a pretty good stash of leftovers! :-) The rest of our morning and lunch will look pretty normal (we have a lot of Halloween projects to finish up).

At 1:20pm the kids will come inside from recess and have a short bathroom and drink break. At 1:30 the kids will go to Art for a shortened 30 minute period. At 1:30pm it will be safe for parents who are helping with the party to come in and start setting up. At 2:00pm the kids will return to the room and ALL will be putting on their costumes. We are conveniently located right next to the restrooms, so that will help, but I anticipate they will be busy! If your child has a costume that needs extra attention, please plan on being at school around 2:00pm. At 2:30pm the Parade begins throughout the entire school. Our hallway is the last to join the parade route (that way we get to see everyone's costumes) and we will travel from our classroom down the main hallway towards the bus doors. We will come out of Dublin, and cross the street by the Nursing Home. Then we come back to school via the soccer fields and parade around the field. It is advised that all parents wait on the black-top to get photos, videos, etc. as we cross by the blacktop last.

We anticipate being back in our classroom around 3:00pm. Before we start the party, the kids of 301 have a special "something" to show! Then it'll be time to party!

If this is your first Halloween at Dublin there are a few things you will want to know! 1) Parking will be CRAZY. I would suggest coming to school early or plan on walking from the nearby neighborhood to the school. 2) There will be lots of commotion prior to the parade. If you plan on bringing little ones, just know that it will be BUSY. 3) If for some reason the weather is uncooperative, the Parade will still happen, but it will be led throughout the building.

I hope that helps clarify EVERYTHING! If you have any questions, please feel free to email me back, give the room a call tomorrow or stop by in the morning.

We're looking forward to an AWESOME day in 301!! :-) Jen
