Halloween costume guidelines

Dear Parents,

As we approach Halloween, we’re excited to see our students celebrate with creativity and fun! To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone, please review the following guidelines for Halloween costumes:

  1. Cultural Sensitivity: Please avoid costumes that are culturally inappropriate, stereotypical, or racially insensitive.
  2. Focus on Fun: Costumes should be fun and lighthearted. We ask that political themes be avoided.
  3. Age-Appropriate: Remember that students of all ages will see your child’s costume. Costumes should not include blood, gore, or other disturbing elements.
  4. Handheld Accessories: To prevent loss and accidents, please do not send your child with any handheld accessories. Costume accessories resembling weapons or deemed dangerous are not allowed.
  5. Face Paint and Masks: Face paint should be applied at home and kept minimal for recognizability. Masks and full face coverings are not permitted, as they can hinder visibility and identification.
  6. Dress Code Compliance: Finally, all costumes should align with our school dress code.

These guidelines are in place to ensure the safety and comfort of all our students. If a student’s costume is deemed inappropriate, they will be asked to remove it and may be sent home.

Students are allowed to wear their costumes throughout the school day, but please ensure that their costumes do not interfere with their duties and responsibilities in and out of class. We encourage comfortable costumes, as they will be worn all day!

We’re also excited to announce that we are bringing back our Halloween parade (weather permitting) and we’d like to invite you to attend.  Our parade will take place on the outside walking trail west of the school at 9:00 AM.  Our students will be showing off their costumes while walking on the track. We're inviting parents who would like to see the parade to line the grass area of the track.  

We appreciate your support in making Halloween a safe and enjoyable experience for all our students. Thank you for your cooperation!

‍Thank you,
