Students are welcome to participate in School Halloween Activities on Thursday, October 31st. Our Grade 6 students will be hosting the Annual Halloween Carnival. They have chosen to donate proceeds to the Pincher Creek Humane Society. Please send loose change for their collection. Parents are invited to attend. Please check with your child's teacher for their scheduled time at the carnival.
In an effort to enjoy and celebrate Halloween at Canyon Elementary School appropriately, respectfully, and in accordance with school expectations, we ask that students and parents use the following guidelines when selecting a costume:
Students may wear Halloween costumes but the student must be recognizable, i.e. no masks or full facial coverings while on the bus, on the playground, in the hallways or in classrooms. Face painting is allowed if the student is recognizable and the painting applies to the costume being worn, i.e. whiskers for a cat, nose for a clown.
Costumes that are provocative, revealing, sexual in nature, or employ questionable props are not permitted.
Costumes that depict violence, alcohol, or drugs are not permitted. Fake weapons are not allowed.
Costumes that could be offensive or perpetuate a stereotype of someone’s culture, gender, heritage, or religion are not permitted.
Costumes should not hinder your ability to participate in your regular classes and may not disrupt or present issues of safety in the hallway. Students wearing questionable costumes will be asked to change into normal clothes.
Individual classroom teachers may host Halloween parties. Please check with your child’s teacher to see what healthy snacks, candy or other goodies may be sent for distribution. When sending snacks or treats, we remind you these are to be peanut and nut free. Thank you.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding Halloween Activities at Canyon, please talk to your child’s teacher or contact Mrs. Ames in the front office.
