SD62 Halloween Costume Guidelines

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Halloween is nearly here! Please take a moment to read the following costume guidelines. Teachers will go through these points with students and if you could also do the same with your child, it would be very much appreciated.

Costume guidelines:

• Full face makeup is permitted as long as it isn’t too scary or offensive.
• No imitation weapons of any kind.
• Half masks such as masquerade masks are permitted. No full masks please.
• Friendly clowns, jesters, mimes etc. are permitted. No scary clowns please.

These guidelines are in place so that students can be easily identified. Please use your discretion when sending your child to school in an appropriate costume. We do our best to create comfortable and safe environments in our schools and we thank you for helping us to do so. Halloween is a very fun time of year and we want to continue to be able to offer that to our students in the years to come.

Thank you for your continued support and diligence in keeping our students safe.

Sincerely,

Scott Stinson

Superintendent of Schools

Sooke School District #62
