Happy Halloween!!
Please note the following guidelines to ensure everything runs smoothly:
Costumes can be worn to school. Please make sure your student has clothing under their costumes.
If your student wears an inflatable costume they will be asked to take it off and wear normal clothes after the classroom parades.
If the costume is a distraction for the learning environment or they cannot sit at their desk, they will be asked to take the costume off.
In accordance with district policy, no props or accessories are allowed, no weapon replicas, (toy guns, swords, etc.).
Also according to district policy, No masks or face paint are allowed as part of the costumes.
Costumes that are gory or have any resemblance of blood are not permitted.
Please ensure that your child arrives at school wearing their costume in the morning.
Unfortunately, we won't be able to accept costumes brought in if students forget them.
The classroom parade is for staff and students only.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in making this a fun and safe Holiday for everyone!
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.
Sincerely, Challenger Intermediate School
Disclaimer: Any costume that goes against administration per building, can and will be asked to be put away. Any props or accessories not allowed per the district policy will need to be picked up by parents / Guardians.
Don't forget! 📸 Picture retake day is tomorrow, Wednesday!
If your child missed the original picture day or you weren't happy with their first photos, make sure they're ready to smile for the camera tomorrow!
Quick reminder:
If your child is getting a retake, please return the original picture package to the photographer.
To order pictures please see the attached flyer.
Get those smiles ready!
