Attention Parents. This is a reminder that tomorrow is our Halloween costume spirit day as part of the lead-up to our Halloween dance. Costumes must conform to the following school dress code guidelines: NO revealing costumes, bare midriff, or miniskirts; NO costumes are allowed that would completely hide the identity of the student (An example would be a Gorilla Suit); No costume masks, full face makeup, or carried props (such as weapons, guns, knives, etc.) If you aren’t sure it would be allowed, don’t wear it or bring it!! Do not wear costumes to school that would create a safety issue. Students must be able to sit at a desk and safely move around our building, walk upstairs, and eat in the cafeteria. No inflatable costumes ( Examples would be dinosaur suites, inflatable alien costumes, etc.) No offensive costumes Students who violate these rules or do not adhere to the costume guidelines must change clothes or call home. The dance will conclude at 5:30 p.m. You can pick your child up between 5:30 and 6 p.m. If we have too many parents arrive early and traffic begins to back up and impede County Home Rd., we must release students early from the dance. Concessions will be sold. Pizza will be $3, drinks and candy will be $2. We will not be selling tickets to the dance tomorrow. Have a great night, and we will see everyone tomorrow!
