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. Students are welcome to wear costumes to school, keeping in mind our commitment to inclusivity, safety, and respect for all. Please leave accessories like swords, wands, or brooms at home, and save masks for our parade. 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.

The Sea to Sky School District extends warm wishes to our students, families, and staff celebrating Diwali, the Festival of Lights! Diwali, which falls on October 20, 2025, is celebrated by millions around the world. It is a time of joy, togetherness, and reflection, symbolizing the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. Wishing you all a joyous Diwali filled with love, peace, and prosperity!

October 10th is World Mental Health Day — a chance for all of us to reflect on how we support mental health in our schools, workplaces, and communities.
This year’s theme is “Access to Services: Mental Health in Catastrophes and Emergencies,” which is such an important reminder about making sure support is available, especially in tough times. Visit our Mental Health and Well-Being Resources page for helpful links and supports.

Join us in celebrating World Teachers' Day at the Sea to Sky School District! We are grateful for the dedication and hard work of our amazing teachers, who inspire and educate our students daily. Thank you for making a difference and for your unwavering commitment to education.
