In- School Halloween Dress Guidelines

As announced to the kids earlier today, costumes are not to be worn to school on Halloween. This includes masks and face painting. There are several reasons for this: (1) Costumes can get ripped, stained, etc. during school (2) Costumes are not always appropriate dress for weather conditions (3) Masks can significantly decrease visibility causing a safety concern (4) Face painting can get very itchy throughout the day.

Here's what the kids CAN do: WEAR A CRAZY HAT! It can be a Halloween hat or any other type of hat. Coloring hair is OK too!

In the future, I would like to consider creating some sort of after-school social event that will give students the opportunity to enjoy the fall season and dress in costume. This should be discussed with the MEQCO.
