Hallowe'en at JVPS 2018

Hallowe'en Haunt at JVPS

Please join us for this fun evening hosted by School Council.

Just a reminder that all costumes must comply with the Safe Schools Policy,  which does not allow for any replica weapons to be part of your child's Halloweeen costume.  This includes but is not limited to guns, knives, axes, swords, spears, bows/arrows etc...  

Please note that wearing any type of face mask is also not permitted.

Hallowe'en Celebration on Tuesday October 31 at JVPS

Each year, our students celebrate the long-standing tradition of Hallowe'en.

As Halloween approaches, we would like to remind our school community of a few items in order to help make this fun dress-up time as positive and safe as possible for all. 

Students choosing to celebrate this occasion in costume at our school must comply with the Safe School’s Policy.

Costume accessories including, but not limited to:

·                toy guns, knives, axes, swords, daggers, axes, any replica weapon

are NOT in compliance with York Region District School Board’s Safe Schools Policy #668.0. All costume accessories of this nature CANNOT be brought to school.  Please ensure that these items remain at home. 

In order to ensure student safety, please do not send children to school with a face mask. Students may choose to use face-paint instead.  As well, jokes or special effects that include spray cans of silly string, fake blood, etc. should be saved for Halloween evening as they are also not school appropriate. 

Please note that this policy applies to all students at all levels, including Kindergarten.

In addition, NO food will be allowed in to the school for Hallowe'en for sharing.  Please ensure that all candies and baked goods remain at home.  Any food that is brought in for classrooms will be returned to parents unopened.

Candy is NOT to be handed out in any classroom.

We want to ensure that our students with life threatening allergies remain safe at school.  As a general reminder, ALWAYS check ingredients of packaged products for your child’s snacks and lunches to ensure that the label does not say, “May contain peanuts”.  

Thank you for your understanding. We look forward to having a safe and enjoyable Halloween.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Goldberg

Principal
