Many schools have actually canceled Halloween, OP. When my now middle schooler was in elementary school, her principal ended what was apparently a many years long tradition of having a Halloween parade and parties in favor of fall parties that were to have zero mention of Halloween. Many parents who had older kids go through the school were angry over the parade - I was just glad Target started selling party supplies with fall leaves on them so we could avoid the "no jack o lantern" rule.

I work in an elementary school and I agree costumes are a huge pain to get in and out of, and not all kids have costumes to participate in. Chevy Chase is also still having Halloween parties in class, they're just doing the fun run instead of a costume parade - and there is a PTA sponsored costume event that weekend. [/quote]

No, once again, schools cannot “cancel Halloween,” as Halloween occurs outside of school hours.[/quote]
