A core tradition at Patterson Elementary for over 40 years. Parents/Guardians are invited to watch the parade on the basketball courts. We will open the Freestone gate at 8:30 AM. This will allow you to park at Freestone and walk directly to the playground without entering the school.

Patterson guidelines for Halloween.

Please remember costumes are optional but must be appropriate for school. Costumes should be WITHOUT weapons, fake blood, and full-face masks. All costumes should be school-appropriate. Keep in mind that your student may have PE or other classroom activities to do during the day so the costume should be able to be worn all day if they decide to wear it to school. The parade will be over by 9:00 AM. Teachers will notify you of additional activities, but if you have any questions, please contact your child’s teacher. Adults that come to school should also follow the same guidelines for costumes that students will follow if they decide to wear a costume.
