In an effort to enjoy and celebrate Halloween at Milan Elementary appropriately, respectfully, and in accordance with school rules, we ask that students use the following guidelines when selecting a costume for school: 

1. NO masks or FULL face paint. Staff members must be able to identify students.

2. Costumes that depict violence, alcohol, or drugs are not permitted. Fake weapons or blood are not allowed. 

3. Costumes that could be offensive or perpetuate a stereotype of someone’s culture, gender, heritage, or religion are not permitted. 

4. Costumes should not hinder student's ability to participate in classes; including P.E. Costumes may not disrupt or impede traffic, or present issues of safety in the hallway.

5. Please understand that students who are wearing costumes during the day will be attending recess and lunch. If you are concerned with your student spilling food on their costume, they should not wear it during the day. They will also need to be able to use the restroom without needing assistance with their costume. 

** PLEASE NOTE: Students wearing questionable costumes or are not able to maintain the proper focus and demeanor in class will be asked to change into normal school attire. 

***Preschool students should bring their costumes to school to change into later. 

Parents are invited to attend our Halloween Parade in the Elementary Gym starting at 2:45 on October 31st. You may enter the building through the Cafeteria Entrance. After the parade, students will be dismissed to their classrooms. After all students are dismissed you may walk down to your child's classroom and sign them out. Each classroom teacher will have a sign-out sheet.

The Elementary Christmas Program will be held on Wednesday, 12/11/24, beginning at 5:45 p.m. Please follow the link for specific performance times for your student's grade level. A family photo booth will be available in the cafeteria.

The holidays are near, and as a special service, our school is hosting a Lil' Shopper's Shoppe. Children will have the opportunity to pick out their own inexpensive, high-quality gifts for family and friends. The Lil' Shopper's Shoppe is a program designed to allow children to shop independently at their school - in a safe and familiar environment. They can learn valuable skills such as planning, budgeting, and decision-making, while experiencing the joy of giving. The Lil' Shopper's Shoppe will be set up in the Elementary Art Room. If you use the link provided you will find the option to purchase online gift cards. This is also a great option to donate for students that are in need. Purchases can be made by cash but we will also accept checks made payable to Milan C-2 or Milan Mullah for the exact amount ONLY.

Our Holiday Shoppe will open the evening of our Christmas Program on December 11th at 5:45 P.M. Parents and students are invited to shop either before reporting for their specific program time or after performing. This will be a great opportunity for purchasing gift ideas or previewing the shop for future purchases. This link can also be scanned with the information and budget envelope sent home with your child. Students will then have the opportunity to shop during the school day at their “Specials Period” time through December 18th.

All proceeds and profits will benefit our elementary PBS program.

Elementary students who met the referral requirements will celebrate their good behavior at the Movies in Brookfield, MO on 12/13/24. Students must have a signed permission slip and have paid their activity fee.
