give out candy on school premiere

[Anonymous]

Can I give candy (sealed & packaged) to some kids that my kid knows on school premiere on Halloween day upon dropoff? If I am not allowed to, can I give some candies to my own child to give them out to his friends at school?

Obviously a typo. School premises.

Let’s start a big thing about how some school have premieres.

If you bring candy for every student in the school, sure
If you're the room mom and are hosting a party. Okay.
If you're a weirdo that my kid is going to come home and tell me "a lady in the parking lot gave me candy" no.

Halloween has candy already. You don't need to do this crazy, unexpected behavior.

Why? Please don’t do this. Are you trying to help your kid win friends? As a teacher, you make me want to quit my job.

Typo was my initial assumption, too, until I saw they’d used it twice.


Anyway, OP, no matter what you meant:

Teachers will have enough to worry about that day without parents handing out candy to certain kids and not others. Hurt feelings or parent objections are always a possibility. The general rule is usually if you send something, send enough for the whole class and let the teacher distribute it at an appropriate time.

But definitely ask the teacher first, if you decide to do this. Different schools will have different policies, especially where food allergies are concerned. And if there’s another celebration happening that day, they may not need any additional food.
