In response to a parent question, I obtained the following information about school sessions for Halloween Day from Principal David Jimenez and Assistant Principals Mike Salek (School Safety) and Devorah Zamansky (Operations).Wednesday, October 31 is a regular school day with a regular class schedule, ending after 8th period with rapid dismissal. Under rapid dismissal, all students must be out of the building within about 10 minutes of the end of 8th period classes, and there are no after-school programs or activities. No costumes or masks are permitted to be worn in school that day. In addition, the school safety officers check all student backpacks on the way into the school building in the morning, and students will not be allowed to leave the building for lunch. They must stay in the cafeteria.
In the end, parents must decide whether they want to send their children to school, but classes will be meeting that day. For what it's worth, my son went to school on Halloween last year as a 9th grader and encountered no problems. He will be at school again this year on Halloween Day.
