Halloween Costumes

These events are meant to be FUN. To ensure everyone's safety, students must follow the guidelines below:

• No Masks or full-face coverings that block vision

• No Weapons including swords, guns, knives, scythes

• Nothing gory - avoid fake blood and excessively scary images

• Must be inclusive - if students are planning a group costume, they must not exclude others

• Must be practical - Can you child sit in a chair? Walk? Use the restroom unassisted?

Thank you for your cooperation!

There will be no early dismissals on Friday.
