| Halloween Costumes Are Allowed at School | http://inn.scdsb.on.ca/about-us/news/school-news/654 | Halloween Costumes Are Allowed at School | <p>As we ask for every year re: Halloween:<br></p><p>1. Students are not to wear full head/face masks<br></p><p>2. Students are not to bring fake weapons (knives, guns, swords, etc.) to school<br></p><p>3. Students may bring treats to school for themselves, but we will <span style="text-decoration:underline;">not be sharing food between students</span> (Mr. Russell most definitely misses the potluck opportunities of past years)<br></p><p>Just a good reminder that Simcoe County District School Board schools are spaces where we value student inclusion and diversity everyday of the year. However, Halloween is a time where we need to remind our students that "Culture is not a costume!" <a href="https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/ap/w-59584e83/?url=https://scdsb-my.sharepoint.com/personal/lsander_scdsb_on_ca/Documents/Monday%2520Message/October%252012/Monday%2520Message%2520-%2520October%252012.docx%23IAmNotACostume&data=04%7c01%7ccrussell%40scdsb.on.ca%7c4ced4986247f44cef36a08d98db1a156%7c573d7e64d5434fd8b3da0c64adc4eb35%7c1%7c0%7c637696616487495984%7cUnknown%7cTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7c1000&sdata=4AFAg8IZjEhTLj6p0eFiYK9WfLtbJglWafH0McX8I3s%3D&reserved=0">#IAmNotACostume</a></p><p> </p><p>Though dressing up at Halloween is fun and exciting, depending upon the choice of costume we choose to wear; it also runs the risk of being offensive to other cultures. As parents and guardians, Halloween is the opportunity to discuss costume choices with your child and students. It is important not to inadvertently mimic culture by culturally appropriating racial, religious or ethnic groups. Some critical equity questions to ask yourself about your costume. Am I reinforcing stereotypes with the image I am portraying? Is my costume a form of exploitation of another culture?<br></p><p><strong>We will celebrate Halloween on Friday October 29th.</strong><br></p> | | | |
| Tomorrow is Orange Shirt Day | http://inn.scdsb.on.ca/about-us/news/school-news/653 | Tomorrow is Orange Shirt Day | <p>Tomorrow we wear an orange shirt to show that every child matters. It is also Truth and Reconciliation Day in Canada. Why is reconciliation important? The Reconciliation process is important to all Canadians because it's about the basics of how we treat each other as human beings and the kind of relationships and communities we want to build for the future. <br></p> | | | |
