💀🎃HALLOWEEN🎃💀 We had SO MUCH FUN at the Monster Bash partying with all of you! HUGE shout out to all our volunteers for making the night a huge success! We wanted to remind you of some rules to make Halloween at school just as fun! -No scary costumes, face paint, masks, toy weapons or other unsafe accessories, inflatables, or costumes that don't allow students to safely navigate their desks, classroom, and school day in general. -Athletic-style shoes must be worn. -Colored hair is acceptable. -Reasonably sized wings, big wigs, tall hats, and the like are acceptable, BUT students may be asked to remove them in class or to participate in recess or PE. Same for accessories like wands and such. NOTE: Kids play, create, and generally "be kids" when they are at school. Damage to costumes could happen, so we ask you to use caution in sending your child in expensive or "special" costumes, or the costume they plan on wearing for trick-or-treating. Thank you! #personalizededucation #gilbert #elementaryschool #letsgovipers #vva #viperstrong #valvistaacademyk8 #parentschoolchoice #kindergarten #middleschool #charterschool #halloween
