6. Halloween can be fun; however, we need to be aware that celebrating Halloween needs to be fun for ALL and not at the expense of equity seeking groups. It is important to keep in mind that we need to be sensitive to groups that have been marginalized through mimicry and cultural appropriation during Halloween and other ‘dress up” events.

       Halloween costumes may be unsuitable if they contain any of these elements:

• Weapons - even fake ones are not allowed at school as part of one's costume
• Cultural or racial stereotypes – includes black face/brown face, Indigenous regalia, dreadlocks, etc.
• Masks that cover one’s face
• Religious faith – e.g. religious figures, gods, saints, gurus, hijab, etc.
• Gender – gender switching for humour or to mock
• Trauma – e.g. hangman’s noose/weapons, etc. 

If you are unsure about your costume, please check in with Ms. Ten-Pow, Mr. Winograd or Ms. Naidu
