Campus Costume Guidelines!
Wednesday, October 31, 2018 will be an instructional day of learning!
In the spirit of learning, we want our students to honor someone from history that made a positive impact on our quality of life!
6-8 Social Studies textbooks provide a great list of inspirational people that may help in your search to find the perfect costume. Here are some guidelines to help:
- No clown costumes!
- No masks or face paint that covers entire face!
- No weapon-like props or images that are violent or offensive in nature!
- No costumes that depict severe violence, drugs, sex, or alcohol
- No flip-flops, sandals or high heels---you need to get around campus
- No costumes that would offend any group of people/ethnicity or organization
- Masks must only be held in the hand during the day—they may be worn only for the costume contest during lunch
Costumes must be in compliance with WMS campus dress code and be academic in nature! If unsure, bring a backup outfit to change.
Students will check-in at cafeteria on 10/31 before school. The school reserves the right to ask students not in compliance with costume guidelines to contact home and/or to change into regular school clothing options. Failure to do so, may result in disciplinary consequences. If unsure, bring a backup outfit of t-shirt and shorts/jeans.
No candy as we have a Healthy Campus initiative! It will be taken up and brought to the front office for pick-up the same day after school. If it is not picked it, it will be disposed of the same day.
*Students are responsible for any and all accessories that accompany costumes. School will not be held liable or responsible for lost/stolen items.
Let's have fun honoring our rich world & US history full of authors, poets, actors, politicians, innovators, musicians, scientists, artists, trail-blazers, professors and winners of Nobel Peace!
PTA Popcorn Fundraiser will be in this coming week! Stay tuned for exact date!
