Sea to Sky Schools wishes everyone a fun and safe Halloween! Families can look forward to a strong community presence on Halloween night, with local safety teams out and about—sharing treats, joining in the fun, and helping to keep everyone safe. We encourage everyone to celebrate responsibly, make safe choices, and remember that fireworks are prohibited. For more safety tips, visit Health Canada’s Halloween Safety Guide linked to this post. And for trick-or-treaters, remember to wear something bright or reflective, carry a flashlight, and use face paint instead of masks for better visibility.

Sea to Sky School District is committed to creating safe, caring and inclusive learning environments where every student feels respected, connected and supported. We are pleased to share our new Student Well-Being & Safe and Caring Schools webpage, now available on district and school websites.

This resource provides students and families with helpful information and supports on topics such as bullying, digital safety, attendance and mental health and well-being. It also includes guidance on how to report safety concerns, where to turn for help and links to community resources.

World Mental Health Day is an opportunity to raise awareness, reduce stigma and recognize the importance of mental health and well-being. This year’s theme, “Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change,” reminds us of the importance of listening to and learning from those with lived experiences to help build more inclusive and supportive communities. At Sea to Sky School District, we recognize the importance of creating safe, caring and inclusive learning environments where everyone feels heard, valued and supported.

In the lead-up to the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on September 30, schools across the Sea to Sky School District came together to honour this important day in meaningful ways. Some schools hosted ceremonies, while others engaged in practices that grounded the community in reconciliation, fostered connections to the land, and supported learning through language, culture, and lived experience.
