Door Decorating
A fun way to add some spirit to our school is by decorating the doors of your classroom a few times a year. Reminders to get this done will be sent a few weeks in advance but here is a tentative schedule for this.
-
Mid-September - Fall Décor/Football theme
-
Early February – Valentine’s Décor/Kinder Doors Dr. Seuss
-
After Spring Break – Spring/Summer Decor
State / District Rules for Door Decorating
-
Can decorate anytime throughout the year for the various occasions
-
Ask other room parents to help out
-
Choose any theme you like. Doors that include the students faces are always the best hit
-
No lights or plug-in decor allowed
-
Nothing allowed to hang from the ceiling
-
Decorations cannot cover up the window on the door. That is a safety violation per district rules. Any décor placed over the window inside the door will be removed
-
Occasions for decorating usually include, but aren’t limited to, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Winter, Valentines, Spring and Summer
-
In the winter, avoid denominational phrases such as Merry Christmas or Happy Hanukkah. Stick with Seasons Greetings, Happy Holidays, Winter Wonderland, etc.
-
Door decorations must stay within the alcove of the door.
