Taylor Elementary

🎃 Halloween is creeping up in just two weeks! We’re excited to have our Halloween Parade on Friday, October 31! 👻 Please take a moment to read the important information from our principal regarding costume guidelines and parade details. Some classes may also be hosting parties throughout the day, so be sure to check in with your child's teacher for more information. Let’s make this a fun, safe, festive celebration! 🕸️✨

Letter From Principal:
Dear J. A. Taylor Elementary Parents, Our Joint Staff School Committee (JSSC -representative school employee leadership team) decided again this year to hold a student Halloween costume parade. We held a successful parade for the past few years and felt we could again rely on students and families to be “Safe, Kind, and Reliable.” Our Halloween Parade will happen first thing in the morning on Friday, October 31. We plan to begin by 9:10 and expect the parade will last about 20 minutes. Students will parade for each other indoors and will parade for parents outdoors, next to the building around the playground courtyard. We would like parents and guests to keep about 10 feet clear of the exterior walls of the school, where students will parade. For those who choose to participate, please have the students come to school on October 31 dressed in their costumes. They will need to remove their costumes after the parade. Students who choose to not dress up may choose to walk with their class in the parade or wait in another location until the parade concludes. Classes may have class parties later that day. There are a few guidelines that must be followed -basically, keep things fun and positive for everyone. Please avoid potentially offensive costumes from ethnic or cultural groups, those which may cause political or other controversy, and avoid extreme gore, masks, and extreme costume makeup. School dress standards still apply: https://taylor.davis.k12.ut.us/o/taes/page/policies . Costume guidelines may be found here: https://tinyurl.com/mrye48rb . We appreciate your support and working together to create a positive school experience and memory for the children.
Thank you, Dr. Denhalter, Principal
