Parents should check school rules for Halloween costumes
Before children of the Battlefords head off to school dressed as little witches and ghouls, local school boards say parents should check on what costumes are allowed, and if they are at all.
Representatives from both Living Sky School Division and Light of Christ School Division said individual schools are responsible for costume rules.
Tom Hawboldt, superintendent of learning for Light of Christ, said in most cases it is actually up to the teachers to decide what is allowed in their classrooms.
“The level of appropriateness is judged by the teacher, just like we expect discipline to be handled by the teacher,” Hawboldt said.
