Inappropriately dressed students will be asked to make appropriate changes. If the student refuses, the student is subject to disciplinary action. District Policy #3232.
Halloween Dress Code
The kids are allowed to wear costumes on Halloween. Students will be told that they must follow all normal dress expectations except for hats or items worn on the head as a part of the costume. In addition, the school will not allow any sort of mask to be worn at school. Costumes should be appropriate in nature and not include any material that could be considered questionable. Things that the school really wants to watch for are anything that could be unsafe or disruptive to the learning environment, anything involving blood or gore, anything that is sexually suggestive or inappropriate in any way. If there is an outfit that is questionable, the student should be sent to the office for Ms. DeRosa or Mr. Morse to check out.
