As Halloween approaches, we want to let families know that the South Burlington School District does not celebrate Halloween at school. We recognize that families celebrate this time of year in different ways. To respect the diverse religious beliefs and cultures within our school community, we kindly ask that students leave costumes, candy, and other Halloween-themed items at home. Our focus remains on learning, and we want to ensure an inclusive environment where all students feel comfortable and supported. Our students were great at this last year, we are so proud of them.
