As Halloween approaches, students and staff across the Abbotsford School District are excited to celebrate with costumes, creativity, and community spirit. To ensure a safe, respectful, and inclusive Halloween for everyone, we encourage families to keep the following tips in mind:

Respecting Diversity in Costumes

Halloween is a time for fun and imagination, and we want to make sure our costumes reflect respect and consideration for all cultures, beliefs, and identities. Costumes should avoid elements that might cause harm or offend others, including:

Dear Swift Families,

This week is an exciting week – Halloween & Diwali! We are looking forward to a week of celebration!

With Halloween just around the corner we would like to send a couple of reminders. Students are welcome to wear their costumes or orange and black to school on Thursday – please do not send weapons, masks or any pieces that might get lost. Also, please be sure that costumes are school appropriate.

The Abbotsford Board of Education regularly meets throughout the school year. Agendas and minutes from the public Board Meetings can be accessed through the District's Electronic School Board. Below is a summary of highlights from the meeting.

Dear Swift Families,

It’s a busy week ahead, so I thought I would send along a couple of reminders.

Dear Swift Families,

Wishing you all a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend, we all hope you have time to enjoy time with family, friends and those you love. We will see you Tuesday, October 15th.

Rainy Days and Extra Clothes

Congratulations to the following students who are our Star Students for September!

The Abbotsford School District is proud to announce the launch of a new and enriching resource on each of its school websites: dedicated school history pages that delve into the fascinating origins of our school’s names.

On October 5th, the Abbotsford School District joins the global community in celebrating World Teachers’ Day, a special occasion to honour the dedication and passion of educators who play an essential role in shaping the future. Teachers are the driving force behind student success, and in Abbotsford, they are at the heart of creating a vibrant and supportive learning environment for over 20,000 students.

Dear Swift Families,

It’s hard to believe that October is already here! Fall days are coming which means a change of weather. Please send your kids to school ready to be outside for recess and lunch – we go out in all weather conditions unless it is incredibly stormy! It is always a good idea to have an extra pair of socks and pants in backpacks – wet feet and wet pants aren’t a lot of fun. While we have some extras at school, we save them for those unexpected bathroom accidents, not puddle fun!
