You're invited to the TCGIS Halloween Parade!

Students will parade around the block and parents are invited to take photos, cheer, and otherwise celebrate our students as they parade in their costumes. All students will return to their classrooms before they leave for the day. Parents, please prep your students that they must return to the classroom. 

The parade will begin at 2:30 p.m. on the Van Slyke side of the building. We will parade 1.5 times around the block, ending on the Como Ave side.

We are closely monitoring the weather and will inform families if the parade needs to be canceled or relocated due to inclement weather.

• Update PikMyKid if you change pickup type
• Parents may take photos in the playground area or along our parade route
• We ask our students to stay off private property and ask our parents to do the same
• Obey parking restrictions and cross streets safely at our crosswalks near the school 
• Keep sidewalks clear in the playground and around the block
• The parade is on a tight schedule and we are not able to stop for photos
• If you want individual photos, please opt for Walking Pickup and take your photos after school hours when you pick up your child at 3:15.
