Halloween Parade and Parties

Monday, October 31

Parade, 9:10-9:45 and Parties, 9:45-10:30

Students come to school wearing their costumes. 

Remember, no masks that cover the eyes, no weapons or blood, and no costumes that violate our dress code. After the party, students change back into their regular clothes for the remainder of the day.

Families may line the field to watch the parade, and then join the indoor classroom 

celebrations after signing in at the school. 

Party Moms have planned a craft and game.  Leawood follows Jeffco Healthy Schools guidelines. Only pre-packaged snacks and drinks will be allowed.

If your student doesn't celebrate Halloween, they may arrive at school at 10:30am. Please let your teacher know.

SEPTEMBER WALL OF PRIDE

The Wall of Pride is Leawood’s way of acknowledging our responsible students. These good citizens are chosen by their teachers for demonstrating Respect, Responsibility and Safety. Students can be recognized for any of these traits during any month of the year, with the expectation that each student is recognized at least one time. These students will have their picture taken and will eat lunch with Mrs. Hoefner during the monthly Wall of Pride lunch.
