Halloween Costumes and Parties at school?

Novas Mommy

Is your child allowed to wear their costume to school?

Does your child's school allow Halloween parties?

In kinder the kids wear their costumes to school and they have a party.

In 2nd they change into their costumes after lunch for a parade and party and then change out before going to gym. 

In 5th they change after lunch for the parade and party which is followed by a Halloween movie.

The kids change before our "parade". Then we have parties after they do a dance in the gym after the parade. Then they change, and go home. It is one of my least favorite days of school, lol

Our school celebrates Halloween. Each class has a Halloween party. Kids, teachers, admin and volunteers all wear costumes. The costumes cannot have blood, knives, swords, guns or any blood.

The kindergarteners have a parade. The line up and go through every classroom. Everyone cheers.

Yes!  They have a parade and dress up at school.

Yes they dress up the day of Halloween(no makeup or masks allowed, just the costumes).  They have a Halloween Carnival in the gym and then have a classroom party, then weather permitting they have a parade.  It's a 1/2 day of school on Halloween so they dedicate it to doing all Halloween stuff.

yes, they do them from PS to 5 th grade.  Kind of annoys me actually. 

We send costumes separately and they change into them for the Halloween parade.

Pre-K yes - they have a party on 10-28.  k-6 (at the same school) no.  They have a fall festival on Sat the 29th and the kids come dressed in costume for that and they do a parade and games and pancakes and other fun stuff.  The classes are able to have parties but no dressing up.

I have no idea what this year is going to bring but last year for Kindergarten they were allowed to wear costumes sans mask.

DD's school changed things up this year (used to have a Halloween Party in the afternoon) and their Halloween parade and parties are right after drop-off. (School starts at 8:10, parade starts at 8:30) They're to come in costume and will change out of it after the parade. The school is thinking since they're having morning parties they'll be more breakfast-oriented (fresh fruit, baked goods, etc.) and less candy-related.
