Buffalo Point Elementary
Since costumes are in all the stores, we want to make sure families are aware of what Halloween looks like at school. The following are district-wide expectations for activities and costumes:
- Be timely: All celebrations should be limited in time and held at the beginning or end of the school day.
- Be respectful: Avoid stereotypes. Be racially sensitive and culturally appropriate. Students may not dress up as an ethnic or cultural group (i.e., a Mexican, a Geisha, a Native American, etc.). Skin color must not be altered in any way.
- Be responsible: Recognize that students in a wide age range will see the costumes. Costumes should be family-friendly. Costumes may not be gory or threatening.
- Be safe: No weapons, real or pretend are allowed (i.e. light sabers, swords, hooks, Wolverine claws). No hand-held accessories are allowed. Masks may not be worn, including inflatables that cover the face. Crowns or hats may be worn.
- Be kind: Costumes should be fun and exciting, not political, or offensive.
- Be understanding: Students may dress up as fictional characters if they follow the above guidelines.
Our Halloween parade will be first thing in the morning, starting a few minutes after 9:00. We will walk outside around the track, as we have done in previous years. Any other celebratory activities will take place at the end of the school day.
If you have any questions about a costume, feel free to text the principal with a picture of the costume (801-425-7499).
Students voted and this month the after-school movie will be K-Pop Demon Hunters!
You can pay for the October movie here. If paying at the movie, exact cash is required.
We would love parent support with these upcoming events. Use the links for each to sign up where you can.
October After-School Movie and Popcorn
We’re excited to host an afterschool movie and popcorn event for our students! To make it a smooth and fun experience, we need a few parent volunteers. Volunteer Roles: Door Greeters – Help check students in and keep things moving at the entrance. Popcorn Crew – Hand out popcorn to the kids (always a favorite job!). Chaperones – Stay in the room to help keep an eye on students during the movie.
