The buzz and excitement around the school is starting to build as we anxiously await the festivities at both campuses.
As you plan your child’s costume, the following information is important to note with respect to Saint Ignatius Loyola School’s procedures and policies for Halloween. My best advice is that if you are not sure, go with a different costume.
Lower Campus and Upper Campus Costumes
All LC and UC students may wear a costume to school.
-
A student’s face cannot be completely covered in a mask.
-
A student’s face cannot be painted to the point that he/she cannot be identified.
-
If short shorts or micro mini dresses are a part of a costume, leggings must be worn with the costume.
-
Half shirts or tube tops must be worn with a sweatshirt to cover.
-
No weapons of any kind – this includes plastic weapons.
-
Please remind the students travelling alone on mass transit that the costume should be put on when they get to school.
-
Please send your child to school with a small bag for his/her treats.
Equally important to note, if you, as an adult, plan to attend the carnival or the Halloween Parade in costume and you are not easily identifiable, for the safety of all, you will be denied access to the school and/or asked to leave the parade. Sadly, in the world we live in today, we cannot be too careful.
Halloween at the Lower Campus
The PreK3 through Kindergarten Halloween Parade will take place in the schoolyard. During your child’s assigned parade time, you may join us in the schoolyard. Please note that, if you have children in different grade levels, you will be asked to exit at the end of each individual parade.
