Don’t forget to wear something red today!Don’t forget to wear something red today!

Remember that there is no school for students on Friday!

HALLOWEEN Hello Mariner Families: Just a quick call about Halloween at Port Elgin Regional. All homeroom teachers have agreed that students may wear their co...stumes to school on Thursday. Costumes displaying blood or gore are not acceptable. Please make sure the costume will allow seamless learning. This means the costume should not be too big to fit within the desk space, that the costume doesn't interfere with a student's writing or other classroom related work. Community Face Masks (covid) still need to be worn on the bus and when outside of the classroom bubble. Please keep this in mind when costume planning. Maybe face painting rather than a mask would work better for this day. Also, please note outside bake goods/food items are not permitted this year. Sorry but if any arrive at the school they will not be distributed. This is to ensure everyone’s safety due to Covid. The plan is for all students to receive a Halloween treat bag from the Tantramar Covid Task Force that has been packaged in compliance with provincial Covid handling methods! Our thanks to those organizers for this kind gesture. We are doing this Halloween celebration on Thursday as there is no school on Friday, October 30th. Thank you and have a good evening. See more
