With the short time frame, here are some things to keep in mind for the festivities that we will be having this week. 

Halloween will continue to be a day of learning at school.  Students are welcome to wear their costumes for their celebration day.  During their time at school, we will have a parade of costumes.  Our PM kindergarten students will have the chance to parade through the hallways on Thursday afternoon, and the rest of our community will parade for each other in the gym on Friday. We encourage students to wear their costume over their regular clothes or bring a change of clothes in the event that they become uncomfortable or find that it interferes with their activities like gym or outdoor play.   

The guidelines for costumes are:   

• No weapons   
• No masks   
• No blood or gore    

The reason behind these guidelines is that we want school to continue to be a safe, caring and welcoming place. Our learners from kindergarten to grade 4 share common spaces and are always interacting with one another.  We want to make sure that no one is scared or fearful in coming to school.  We thank all families for helping us continue to make our collective space a safe one.
