Halloween

This year, staff and students can choose to wear costumes on Friday, October 29. Students can wear a costume, wear orange and black, bring a simple disguise, or just their regular clothes. There is no pressure for your child to come to school with a costume. 

There are lots of great, creative costume ideas using items you likely already have at home, such as recycled materials - here are some:

There will be fun activities within each class that will be inclusive for all students. Costumes need to be elementary school appropriate. Nothing gruesome or scary, and any weapons need to be left at home. Masks need to be easily removed for learning activities and for safety. If there is any concern about a costume being in good condition for trick-or-treating by the end of the day please do not send it to school.

It's important to be safe this Halloween. Before you take part in Halloween celebrations and activities this year, check out the BCCDC website for Halloween COVID-19 safety advice: http://www.bccdc.ca/about/news-stories/stories/2020/treat-yo-self-to-a-safe-halloween
