Halloween Classroom Party Note for Families

Start by telling families the date, time and what to bring. The note has fields for class, date, time, place, what to bring, costumes and an allergy note. The sign-up sheets then collect snack and helper jobs.

The best treats depend on your school’s food and allergy rules. The note has an allergy box and a “please bring” box that you fill in yourself. Type what you want families to send, or leave it open.

Pick snacks that match your school’s food and allergy rules. The snack and supplies sheet has 15 rows, with a typed “We need” column that you fill in. Families then write their names next to the item they will send.

Ask families for whatever your school allows by typing it into the “please bring” box. The allergy box on each note lets you add a warning. The snack sheet then shows who is sending what.

Start with helpers, because a class party runs better when each job has a name beside it. The helper sign-up sheet has 16 rows, each with a typed job and time. Families write their name and contact next to the job they take.

The file sets up the party rather than the games. Use the note to tell families what is planned, and the helper sheet to find grown-ups to run each activity. Type the job and time on each row.

Send one half-page note home with each child. Type the class, date, time, place and what to bring once, then print and cut the sheet in half. The cut-off return slip comes back with the child’s name, a grown-up and a phone number.
