Halloween Guidelines and Expectations
VÍSPERA DE TODOS LOS SANTOS
Expectativas:
Nada de armas o armas falsas
Sin mascarillas
Sin pintura facial de ningún tipo
No se permiten disfraces que muestren palabras, imágenes o contenido que infrinja la política del distrito o de la escuela.
Si los estudiantes no cumplen, se llamará a los padres y se llevará al estudiante a la oficina para cambiar lo que no cumple (o hacer que los padres lo recojan, dependiendo de la ofensa)
Pautas del distrito para Halloween:
- Sé respetuoso: Evita los estereotipos. Ser racialmente sensible y culturalmente apropiado. Los estudiantes no pueden disfrazarse de un grupo étnico o cultural (es decir, un mexicano, una geisha, un nativo americano, etc.). El color de la piel no debe ser alterado de ninguna manera.
- Sea responsable: Reconozca que los estudiantes de un amplio rango de edad verán los disfraces. Los disfraces deben ser aptos para toda la familia. No se pueden usar mascarillas. Los disfraces no pueden ser sangrientos ni amenazantes. No se permite el maquillaje.
- Manténgase seguro: No se permiten accesorios de mano reales o ficticios (es decir, varitas o armas). Se puede usar corona o sombreros.
- Sé amable: Los disfraces deben ser divertidos y emocionantes, no políticos ni ofensivos.
- Sé comprensivo: Los estudiantes pueden disfrazarse de personajes ficticios si siguen las pautas anteriores.
- Sea oportuno: Todas las celebraciones deben ser limitadas en tiempo y realizarse al comienzo o al final del día escolar.
- Vestirse como Pocahontas u otros líderes nativos americanos es inapropiado. La cultura no es un disfraz. Con respecto al punto de vista de los nativos americanos, aconseje a los estudiantes que se abstengan de vestirse como nativos americanos (es decir, Pocahontas, Sacagawea, Toro Sentado, etc.). Esto es apropiación cultural y es inaceptable.
Gracias por tomarse el tiempo para asegurarse de que los estudiantes sigan las pautas con sus disfraces. Queremos asegurarnos de mantener un ambiente divertido y apropiado para todos los estudiantes. También queremos que nuestras celebraciones sean una experiencia positiva que conduzca a la construcción de una comunidad en lugar de división.
Continuaremos con la tradición de tener un Desfile de Halloween. Para limitar las distracciones y garantizar que el aprendizaje continúe, el desfile se limitará solo a los estudiantes y al personal.
