Halloween and upcoming dates

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Halloween is just around the corner.  On Monday October 31st students are welcome to wear a Halloween costume to school.  There will be a safety talk by the RCMP and an assembly led by Student Council at 2:30 pm.

When students are choosing their costumes, please be mindful of our school code of conduct.  Costumes should not be offensive to others, disrupt classroom learning, or include a weapon of any kind.

We are asking students not to dress as a “clown” this year due to concerns and alerts throughout our province regarding clown related violent incidents.

Also, as a general reminder there is zero tolerance for weapons or fireworks at school on Halloween Day.

We wish everyone a fun and safe Halloween!
