Halloween Guidelines at Concord Elementary

  • Dear Concord Elementary Families,

    We’re excited to celebrate Halloween and our Fall Harvest Parties on the morning of Friday, October 31! Please remember this is a half-day of school, so students will be dismissed at 11:15. I’m sure your students are excitedly discussing their Halloween costumes, and we cannot wait to see them! Please review our costume guidelines below:

    • Wearing a costume is completely optional.

    • Costumes should be age and school-appropriate (no violence, scary themes, or inappropriate characters). Keep in mind the age of all Concord students.

    • Please have your child arrive in costume. Staff cannot assist with dressing.

    • Choose something comfortable and safe for the morning’s activities.

      • These activities include an all-school character assembly (students only due to space in the gym) and a CARE-sponsored Fall Harvest party.

    • No accessories (wands, swords, sticks, etc.).

    • We discourage masks, as face coverings make it difficult to identify our students. We also ask that any face/body makeup be applied before the school day and not interfere with a safe and positive learning environment. 

    We appreciate your support in helping us create a positive experience for all students. Please remind your child that while we will celebrate and have fun together, it is still a school day, and regular behavior expectations remain in place. 

    Thank you for your continued partnership in making Concord a safe and welcoming community of learners.

    Have a great day!

    Katie Doyle
    Principal
