Indian Hills Middle School and Halloween
On Monday, Oct. 31st students can wear Halloween costumes. When selecting 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.
