Balaclava Parent Reminders

Halloween Plans

Thank you to those classes who shared their ideas for how to celebrate Halloween this year. Here is what we heard, you would like to have the choice of wearing a costume or “monster colours” such as orange and black or purple and green and you would like to have a class celebration of some kind. In response to this, students may choose to wear a costume however, the costume is to be worn all day (you will not be able to change), you must be able to wear your PPE mask, and there are to be no accessories brought to school. Of course any costumes must be appropriate for school – nothing too ghoulish. A class celebration may be held, however, only personal food treats may be consumed – no group food sharing is permitted.  Please be careful – Lunches and treats must be Peanut and Nut Free.
