Students not signed out will remain in their classroom until the usual dismissal time. Students should not wear their costumes to school. There will be time to change into costumes prior to the parade. Please be sure that costumes do not depict violence - no play knives, guns, sharp objects, and no gory costumes depicting blood or violence. Students who do not follow these guidelines will not be allowed to participate in the parade.
