While not as many as in elementary and middle school, some love to come dressed in their Halloween costumes on that day. We support this happening but have guidelines that need to be followed. Thank you for helping us make sure all who come to school wearing Halloween costumes adhere to these guidelines:

• No weapons or weapon-like props;
• No dressing as another ethnicity, race, religion or culture;
• No especially scary or gory costumes;
• Masks cannot be worn;
• Any make-up must be such that we can readily identify a student’s face;
• If you are not sure about the appropriateness of a costume, it’s probably best to save it until after school.  

Your child should not dress as another person’s race, religion or culture. A costume can be of a character or an individual who is of another race/religion/culture than your child, but not of a generalized race or ethnicity religion or culture. Costumes should not be caricatures or mocking representations of any group. Students will be asked to change clothes in the event their attire is deemed inappropriate for a school setting.
