Good Day All,
Ahh Halloween time in middle school, there isn’t anything like it! Halloween is always a day that is joyful and fun. For our staff, it’s the following day, November 1st, that’s difficult! Please feel free to coach students to eat more than sugar in that 24 hour period and to help keep our building clean by putting all wrappers in the trash cans located conveniently around the building.
Fowler students will be allowed to dress up for Halloween if they choose, but we do have specific expectations for October 31st. Students will get more detailed information in their Morning Meeting class on Monday, but we do want to be sensitive and thoughtful regarding costumes chosen.
We look forward to working in partnership to ensure that those who choose to wear costumes, do so in a thoughtful manner. To do this, we ask you to please review the following guidance regarding costumes when helping your students make decisions around appropriate costumes. The following are NOT allowed:
Costumes representing other cultures, heritage, religion, or gender identities that do not represent your child and/or family. In alignment with TTSD Board Policy ACB Bias Incidents and Hate Speech, the school will follow its discipline framework.
Costumes that depict violence, alcohol or drugs.
Fake weapons.
Fake blood.
Full face masks.
Full face covering makeup.
Students who do not follow these guidelines will be asked to change. We encourage families to review the Morning Meeting lesson so you have solid examples and nonexamples. Thank you for your continued partnership and collaboration in building a safe, inclusive school community.
