Bonjour Charlemagne Families!

Thank you all for making our annual Unity Day a success! Your participation, wearing orange and uniting against bullying, showed the incredible spirit of our school community.

We're keeping that spirit going tonight at our French Bingo Night! Events like this are how we build community together at Charlemagne. We hope to see you for a fun evening!

En Remerciement,

Happy Halloween

Our Annual Parade will be on Halloween!

​Our Halloween Parade will start at 8:50 a.m. on Friday, October 31.

Parents are welcome to arrive at 8:35 and view the parade from the courtyard. For students who do not wish to participate in the parade we will have an alternate activity space available.

Below is a list of do's and please don't's that we hope will make the day enjoyable for everyone.

If students are going to wear a costume, they must wear it to school. Please include shoes that are appropriate for school. No heels, no slippers, and no flip-flops.

Students will not be permitted to change at school. Costumes should not interfere with the ability of a student to go to the bathroom by themselves.

Please note that students will still have recess and any other activities they regularly have on 
Friday. Please send them with a coat, proper shoes, etc. so that they can participate fully the rest of the school day.

Please limit makeup to whiskers, freckles, eye make up, etc. No full face paint or masks.
Costumes must not be too scary or inappropriate for the school environment.

Please no gory or grotesque costumes. No props are allowed: no swords, weapons, wands, etc.

Your student should not dress as another person’s race, religion or culture. A costume can be of a character or an individual who is of another race/religion/culture than your child, but not of a generalized race or ethnicity, religion or culture. Costumes should not be caricatures of any group.

Students will be asked to change clothes for inappropriate attire which might entail a call home.

If you are not sure about the appropriateness of a costume, please discuss with your teacher or the principal.
