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-N-Roll
There were so many students walking or riding to school this past month. It was great to see. Prizes were given to the class with the most days walked and individuals with the most participation in each class. It helped a lot with traffic congestion and students benefit from the movement outdoors. As it gets colder it will get harder to want to come early in the morning. So keep up the challenge and Walk and Roll to school in October!
You can enter your days on the last day of each month at SafeRoutes.utah.gov/Walk-N-Roll
