Halloween​

As you know, Halloween is on Saturday, October 31st.  We recognize that many community events will not be happening this year, due to the ongoing pandemic.  We are planning some safe, fun activities for students to do with their learning group at school on Thursday, October 29th.  Thank you to our grade 6/7 leadership club students for planning such a great day for our school community.  We have decided to once again allow students to wear costumes if they wish!  Students may wear a costume on Friday, October 30th.  If your child does not want to wear a costume, we encourage students to wear black and/or orange.  We do have some costume guidelines that must be followed to ensure everyone has a safe and fun day:

*Masks are NOT to be worn outside on the playground, or in the hallways or washrooms.  Teachers will give direction on the expectations in classrooms.

*No Heavy make-up

*Leave all costume "weapons" at home (swords, knives, guns, etc) 

*Bring a change of clothes (some students will have PE class and may be asked to change if the costume interferes with mobility)

*Due to ongoing concerns about "Creepy Clowning", we ask that students avoid costumes of this nature.

Food and Treats

Please be reminded that we are required to follow the BC Healthy Food and Beverage Guidelines when serving food in schools.  IF you are wanting to send treats to school to help celebrate a special occasion, please contact your child's teacher in advance to make arrangements.  Food must be prepared and packaged in a Food Safe Certified facility.
