If your child plans to wear a costume on October 31st to school:

All costumes should still adhere to all district dress code rules
No fake weapons with your costume (never a good idea at school)
No costume masks or face paint that covers or conceals your face (this is a safety issue)
No fake blood (this stains our floors and is very difficult to clean)
No blow-up costumes (takes up too much space in class and halls)
Costume choice should not portray a stereotypical image of any group of people or culture, or be offensive to any racial, ethnic or religious group.
