Principal Notes
Hello Alpine Families,
Get ready for some spooky fun—our annual Halloween Promenade and classroom celebrations are fast approaching! Mark your calendars for Thursday, October 31st, and prepare for a day of creativity and Halloween excitement.
Promenade Details: The promenade will take place outside, circling the school building, and will begin at 2:50 PM, following classroom parties. Families are warmly invited to join in on the fun! We’re looking forward to a fantastic celebration and can’t wait to see everyone’s costumes.
Classroom Parties: Classroom teachers will reach out to you regarding details about classroom parties. We encourage the focus to be on fun activities rather than treats, but there may be a few small treats.
Costume Guidelines: To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all, please keep the following in mind:
Change at School: Kinder through first grade students should bring their costumes to school and change just before the party and promenade.
No Weapons, Masks, or Fake Blood: For safety reasons, costumes should avoid any weapons, masks, or fake blood.
Minimal Face Paint/Makeup: While fun face paint or makeup is welcome, please keep it minimal to ensure visibility and comfort.
We are excited for a day full of laughter, creativity, and Halloween spirit! 
Library Oasis: We understand that not all students celebrate Halloween, and we want every child to have a fun and inclusive experience. For those who prefer not to participate in the festivities, the library will offer an alternative activity. It will be a peaceful space for creative exploration, featuring engaging books, puzzles, and STEM activities. This will provide a comfortable and enriching option for students who want to enjoy the afternoon in their own way.
Let’s make this Halloween at Alpine a day to remember!
Gratefully,
Amber Marsolek EdD – Principal
Jennifer Dalby EdD – Dean of Students
