UPDATED DISTRICT HALLOWEEN COSTUME GUIDELINES
If students want to come to school in costume to celebrate Halloween, costumes must meet the following 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, a Native American, 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. No make-up is allowed.
Be safe: No hand-held accessories real or pretend (i.e., wands or weapons) are allowed. Crowns or hats may be worn.
Be kind: Costumes should be fun and exciting, not political, or offensive.
Be understanding: Students may dress up as fictional characters if they follow the above guidelines.
Note: Every year in the State Title VI/Indian Education meeting, it is discussed that dressing up as Pocahontas or other Native American Leaders is inappropriate. Culture is not a costume. In respect to the Native American view, we shoudl all refrain from dressing up as Native Americans (i.e., Pocahontas, Sacagawea, Sitting Bull, etc.). This is cultural appropriation and is unacceptable.

WALK & ROLL to School - submit your progress
It's the end of another month and that means it is time to enter your days of WALKing or ROLLing to school at SafeRoutes.utah.gov/Walk-N-Roll
Enter your days by Oct 31 to be entered into the drawing for large prizes given by the Utah's Safe Route program. Did you see we had a winner from our school last month? She won a scooter and helmet. At the school we also give small prizes to students and the class with the most participation.
As it gets colder, we still encourage students to walk and bike to school to promote improved learning, developing healthy habits and reducing air pollution. What are you waiting for? Let's get rolling!
