Wear Costumes on Halloween That Match These Guidelines
On Tuesday, Oct. 31st students can wear Halloween costumes. When working with your student to select a costume, please remember that dress code will still be in effect. Here are some guidelines:
- No full face paint or costume masks allowed. We need to be able to identify students even in costumes.
- Costumes that are provocative, revealing, sexual in nature or employ questionable props are not permitted.
- Costumes that depict violence, alcohol, or drugs are not permitted. Fake (or real) weapons are not allowed.
- Costumes that can be offensive or perpetuate a stereotype of someone’s culture, gender, heritage or religion are not permitted.
- Costumes should not hinder the ability to participate in classes, including PE or hinder the ability to move through the hallways in a safe manner.
- As always, costumes or dressing up is optional. Students wearing questionable costumes will be asked to modify their costumes to make them appropriate for school.
- If you have any questions regarding the appropriateness of your costume idea, we encourage you to speak with a teacher, counselor or administrator.
- Thank you for taking the time to help your student understand these guidelines.
