Week of October 12, 2026
Halloween will be here soon! We will celebrate Halloween with a parade. Our half-day classrooms will celebrate Thursday 10/29 at 11:30 and full-day classrooms will celebrate Friday 10/30 at 11:30. As a reminder Oct. 30th is a half day of school with classrooms dismissing at 11:45.
All children are invited to wear a costume on this day. Please avoid face makeup, gory or violent costumes themes, and no costume accessories as these tend to get lost with 20 students to manage. Do not hesitate to contact your classroom teacher or myself if you have an questions.
As a reminder we do not distribute candy, baked goods, toys or any other item to students for holiday celebrations, this also applies to items send in by families. We will always acknowledge and celebrate the holiday in our classrooms in an age-appropriate way.
Picture Day is coming at the Royal Oak Early Childhood Center on Tuesday, October 20 and Wednesday, October 21!
Please refer to your classroom newsletter for your child's specific date.
