Please send your child to school already dressed in their costume. (Dressing 110 children would be too crazy!) Also send a separate bag for all costume pieces to be placed into after the parade. (It may be helpful to include a list of the pieces.)
The parade is a 2 minute walk around the school hallways while all the classes (Gr.1-6) cheer the Kindergarten classes! -- Usually shouting out: "Happy Halloween!"
Please note: Any sort of weapon-looking item is never permitted on school property!
Face masks are discouraged in favour of make-up. Children have difficulty seeing through the mask and it gets very hot inside.
For the week of November 1-4:
We kindly request that Halloween candy not be sent to school beyond this week!
We are always trying to teach students about healthy life choices --- including both nutrition and dental care --- so we ask that you resume your regular healthy food choices for snacks and lunches no later than November 7. {We would always encourage you to keep sweets, such as candy, soft drinks, etc., at home where parents can supervise quantity, frequency and dental care.} Thank you for your support in this regard.
