Elementary Halloween Costume Rules: Costumes must conform to the School Dress Code. Costumes should not cause a disruption to the school program. No weapons, toy weapons, or props replicating weapons are to be brought to school. No props or equipment that are unsafe. No costumes are allowed that completely hide the identity of the student, such as a gorilla suit or the “Scream” movie character. Costumes must not impair a student’s vision or movement. No Halloween masks are permitted in classrooms, although masks that do not obscure identity or impair vision may be permitted if your classroom teacher allows it. Costumes should not depict horror characters, gangs, or be scary. Aim for “positive costumes.” Students are encouraged to dress up as historical characters or delicious food items. If you are not sure, don’t wear it. If you have questions, contact Mrs. Ternes.
