Halloween

Posted October 19, 2021

Although there are some parameters that need to be followed due to COVID and Public Health guidelines, on October 28th students may wear their costumes to school. We will ask that parents carefully consider the costumes their children wear to school as they will need to wear them all day. If students choose to wear a costume they should come to school wearing it. We have asked that students be conscious of their costumes and consider that costumes that perpetuate stereotypes can cause harm that can further marginalize and oppress community members.

Accessories are to stay home – to minimize items brought to school.

Students will still be required to wear their COVID masks (Halloween masks must not replace their COVID masks)

Weather permitting there will be an outdoor Halloween parade for students only

We ask that students not share candy/drinks/treats; however, students may bring a treat for themselves in their lunch

A reminder that costumes should not be scary as we have young students who may be frightened.

If your child(ren) does not participate in Halloween please inform their teacher and there will be alternate activities available.
