I searched for a sample letter online and didn't find one, so here's what I wrote in case anyone else can use it.

Hello,
Recognizing that thematic planning starts well in advance, we thought it would be important to make sure you are aware that our family does not celebrate Halloween. As you may be aware, this is a religious holiday, celebrated by adherents of the Wiccan religion as one of their four holiest days of the year.
We would appreciate it if you could keep us informed as to any school-wide Halloween activities taking place so that we can plan accordingly. We would like to "opt-out" our kids from any Halloween-related assignments, costume parades, or crafts that depict witches, zombies, and the like.
If you have any questions, please let us know. Thank you in advance for respecting our wishes.
[my name & DH's name]
