School Community Gathering
Parents are invited to join us for our Remembrance Day
assembly at 11:00 am on Friday, November 10th.
There will be no school on Monday November 13th.
in Observance of Remembrance Day.
Staff and students will be celebrating Hallowe’en on Tuesday, Oct. 31st and your child is invited to dress up in a costume for the day. Please, however, have your child refrain from wearing any costumes that could be perceived as scary or threatening. We also ask that NO WEAPONS, scary props or Prop MASKS be brought to school. Certain costumes can be intimidating for the younger students and we want to ensure that everyone feels safe on this day.
*Please also note that we ask that costumes follow our district guidelines as per the attached document entitled, ‘Culture is Not a Costume .’
Parents are welcome to join us in the school gym at 2:15PM on this day to watch some of our students perform some short songs and dances, and also participate in a costume parade.
If you are sending treats to school, please ensure these are individually wrapped.
Please contact the school office or your child’s teacher if you have any further questions.
Happy Hallowe’en, everyone
