Students are invited to dress up in Halloween costumes if they wish. They may come to school with their costume on, and wear it throughout the whole day. It will still be a regular school day, with a few playful activities being planned by the Leadership 9 class. Please keep a few things in mind when discussing costume selection at home: 

• Due to safety and security reasons, full-face masks and toy weapons (swords, rifles, guns, etc.) should be kept at home.  
• Choose a simple costume that minimizes on slip, trip and fall hazards; students still need to transport their books/binders from class to class, and to do so in an easy manner 
• Costumes should not reflect violent or sexualized imagery, or reflect cultural appropriation of any sort. Cultural appropriation can be described as perpetuating a cultural/ethnic stereotype or trivializing a tradition. 
• Good judgement and decision-making between parent and child is requested
