Hillside Halloween Celebration: Friday, October 30

Three pumpkins carved for Halloween

Hillside Elementary School will celebrate Halloween on Friday, October 30. Students are welcome to wear simple costumes to school. To ensure a safe and productive learning environment, please follow these guidelines:

  • Costumes should be comfortable to wear all day and easy to manage independently, including using the bathroom.
  • Keep costumes simple, and avoid anything hanging below the wrist or ankle to prevent tripping or getting caught.
  • Costume masks and weapons are not permitted.
  • Costumes should be appropriate and should not frighten younger students.
  • If your child has physical education on October 30 (D Day), make sure the costume is safe and easy to move in.
  • Weather permitting, students will have recess outdoors.
  • Class parents will share information about food for classroom activities, which will follow the school nurse-approved list. Please do not send in goody bags, as they will be returned home.
  • Pre-K students will receive additional details from their classroom teachers.

We hope these guidelines help ensure a safe and enjoyable Halloween celebration for all students.
