School Policy Regarding Costumes:
Our goal is to maintain our educational purpose and provide instruction to students with minimal distractions. Outside of school-sanctioned dress-up days, costumes are not permitted, as they do not serve an educational purpose. Outside of any school-sanctioned event, please follow these general rules:
- No Costumes (this includes fake ears, noses, wigs, etc.)
- No Fake Blood/Fake Weapons
- No Full-Face Coverings, Masks, or Face Paint
- Student dress should not create a disruption to classroom instruction or learning
