This is a reminder of the guidelines for tomorrow's spirit day.
Guidelines for Wearing Costumes
NO revealing costumes, bare midriffs, or miniskirts;
NO costumes are allowed that would completely hide the identity of the student (IE: Gorilla Suit);
No costume masks, full face makeup, or carried props (such as weapons, guns, knives, etc.) ** If you aren’t sure… don’t wear it or bring it!!
Do not wear costumes to school, which would create a safety issue. Students must be able to sit at a desk and safely move around the building, walk upstairs, eat in the cafeteria, etc.
No inflatable costumes ( i.e. dinosaur suites)
No offensive costumes (i.e., making fun of any particular race, religion, culture, etc.)
Students who violate the guidelines will be required to change or call a parent to go home.
