Halloween
Goblins and ghouls, it's almost time! Halloween will be here in just a few short weeks. We would like to take this opportunity to remind you of a few rules. First, Kittredge is a candy-free school. Please refrain from sending your child with any sugary sweets on the 31st. Second, we do not allow costumes that include weapons of any kind (including props), nor do we allow inflatable costumes. We appreciate your cooperation.
On Thursday, October 31st, parents and family members are invited to join us at 2pm for our annual holiday parade which begins in front of the school. Parents, if you plan to depart with your child from the playground, please be sure to sign your child out with their teacher.
Parent Volunteers Wanted
Speaking of Halloween! We are excited to share that Kittredge School will celebrate Halloween on Oct 27 and Oct 31, passing out treats and spreading the word about the best little school in town.
If you would like to volunteer either outside of Kittredge or at the Great Hauntway, please check your email for a sign-up sheet.
