Please refer to the map for information about the parade on Friday, October 31st starting at 9:00.

COSTUME GUIDELINES

Be Respectful: Avoid stereotypes. Be racially sensitive and culturally appropriate. Students may not dress up as an ethnic or cultural group (i.e., a Mexican, a Geisha, Native Americans, etc). Skin color must not be altered in any way.

Be Responsible: Recognize that students in a wide age range will see the costumes. Costumes should be family friendly. Masks may not be worn. Costumes may not be gory or threatening.

Be Safe: No hand-held accessories, which includes wands and weapons. Crowns or hats may be worn. EVERY STUDENT FACE MUST BE VISIBLE AND STUDENTS EASILY and QUICKLY IDENTIFIABLE.

Be Kind (and Understanding): Costumes should be fun and exciting, not political, or offensive. Students may dress up as fictional characters if they follow the above guidelines. In respect to the Native American view, please refrain from dressing up as Native Americans (i.e., Pocahontas, Sacagawea, Sitting Bull, etc.)

***The PTA pizza party will be during lunch tomorrow (October 29th). PTA is providing pizza, oranges, chips, and water during students’ regular lunch time. Students will be able to either eat the PTA provided lunch outside or get school lunch from the cafeteria.
