Hallowe’en
Dear Parents and Guardians;
Here we are in the middle of October already. Thanksgiving has passed and now I know that Hallowe’en is on many children’s and adults’ minds.
As you can imagine, this has been a topic of much discussion with our staff. Certainly, if times were a little less unusual, there might have been a different result to our chats. However, there have been some decisions made. I have listed them below:
• A decision has made system-wide by UGDSB that Hallowe’en parades will not occur this year.
• Given the difficulty of ensuring health and safety, costumes will not be worn that day. Instead, we will celebrate a ‘Black and Orange Day’ and will have class-based activities for children to enjoy.
• Again, following the protocols established by our Board and Public Health, we will be unable to accept goodies from home. However, we as a school will be providing prepackaged treats (perhaps somewhat nutritious …) and will distribute those to your children.
We believe we will be able to have a most enjoyable day where children and adults will enjoy each other’s company to celebrate what makes our school a special place in which to play and learn.
Best regards,
Paul Tribe, Principal
