Friendly reminder re: Halloween Costumes

Halloween costume guidelines:

  • Costumes may not be demeaning to any ethnic group, race, religion, nationality, disabilities, gender, or individual at the school.

  • Costumes may not cause a disruption or distraction to the school program, i.e. no revealing costumes - bodysuits are not allowed

  • No weapons, toy weapons, or props replicating weapons are to be brought to school.

  • No costumes are allowed that would completely hide the identity of the student, i.e. gorilla suit, "Scream" character, no masks etc. 

  • Costumes must not impair a student's vision or movement.

  • Costumes may not show obscene materials or prohibited substances.

  • Please be mindful of the hemline.  If the costume is very short leggings are to be worn underneath.  On the contrary, please make sure it is not too long to avoid potential tripping on stairs.
