 OCT 31: Halloween Parade at Miraloma - 1pm on Upper Yard |
Our student Halloween Parade will take place on the Upper Yard at 1:00pm THIS FRIDAY! Please note the procedure for our Halloween celebrations:
Students will change into their costumes at school:
- Bring costume to school in a bag
- Family members can meet students on the Upper Yard in their usual Morning Circle locations.
- Check with your student's teacher to see if they need in-class volunteers.
DO NOT bring: - Treats of any kind - to honor our healthy eating values and to help contain the energy of our children
- Weapon-like items (scythes, sickles, swords, wands, etc.)
Adults: - You are welcome/encouraged to dress up
- Please remain on the outside of the Morning Circle
- Take pictures/videos and share them on our Shutterfly Site

| OCT 31: Halloween Treats Policy - Please read! |
We believe that Halloween can bring out the kid in all of us. It's fun to get dressed up in a costume and parade around the school. Treats are a part of the fun. However, treats don't have to be sticky, sugary, fatty, or candy. Per the SFUSD Official Wellness Policy, we do not allow any candy, cupcakes, or sugary treats at Miraloma during already high-energy days, such as Halloween, Valentine's Day, etc.
If you are bringing treats to school, think about some possible non-edible treats:
- Temporary tattoos - kids love tattoos!
- Stickers in Halloween themes - a safe bet and available everywhere!
- Halloween-themed pencils, pens, and erasers - both fun and functional!
- Bubbles - bubbles are fun!
- Rubber spiders or spider rings!
