Halloween Costume Guidelines for Students:
- Modesty First: Costumes should be appropriate for a school environment. This means covering shoulders, midriff, and legs to a respectful length (i.e., no short skirts, shorts, or revealing tops). If you’re unsure, it’s best to err on the side of caution.
- Avoid Offensive Themes: Costumes should not include violent, gory, or inappropriate content, including weapons, blood, or anything disrespectful of others’ cultures, religions, or beliefs.
- No Masks or Full Face Paint: Students’ faces should be clearly visible for safety and identification. Light face paint is fine, but full masks or extensive face paint that obscures identity are not allowed.
- School-Appropriate Accessories: Avoid props or accessories that could be disruptive or dangerous, such as toy weapons or overly large items.
- Respect for All: Costumes should reflect the values of our school community, avoiding themes that mock, belittle, or stereotype others.
