No costume masks or props for costumes will enter the classrooms. No inflatable or blow up costumes allowed. Just simple costume clothing. Due to current circumstances, there will be no parade, parties or candy exchanges. All students must still wear safety masks and the classes will continue to follow all social distancing procedures. On Friday, October 29, 2021 at 6:00pm, our Oak Ridge Heights School Parent Teacher Organization will be hosting our annual TRUNK OR TREAT. We will be waiting until 3:00 to make a weather decision. Due to current circumstances, anyone who is quarantining or should be quarantining are not eligible to participate. All participants must follow social distancing and mask requirements while on school property. The basic rule is if you are within 3 feet of another person, you need to wear a mask. All Staff, students and volunteers must wear masks. Please do not send any treats or crafts to school. Our PTO will have a table set up at our Trunk or Treat for participants to drop their candy off. Costumes are not mandatory. Please do not go overboard. I hope that we have some fun and a little bit of normalcy as we say goodbye to October. Have a safe and enjoyable weekend.
