MacArthur International Spanish Academy

On Friday, October 30, we will be celebrating Halloween by having our annual costume parade and room parties. In choosing an appropriate costume for your child to wear at school, please adhere to the following guidelines: 

• No weapons or “look-alikes” of any kind (squirt guns, etc.)

• Ensure that costumes are appropriate and inoffensive to all ages at our school

• Keep make-up to a minimum (there is only a short time given to students to change into costume) 

• No one should wear make-up or costumes to school in the morning 

• Be certain that your child can see through any mask or head covering 

Students will have a typical lunch/recess and get prepared for the parade once they return to their classrooms. All parade spectators are asked to remain outside for the duration of the parade. Our parade will begin at 1:15 PM. The parade route will take the students around the perimeter of the building, so standing anywhere on the outside will give you a good view. 

All Halloween room parties will begin immediately following the parade. As a reminder, only room parents will be allowed in the building after the parade. Also, according to District procedures we ask that you do not send any food to school for your child to pass out to his/her classmates. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and we hope all our students have a fun and safe Halloween this year!
