Students may come to school in costume on Tuesday, the 31st. Keep in mind that costumes should be able to be managed by the students and should be appropriate for school. The students will be wearing their costumes all day, and therefore, please keep in mind the comfort level of your child’s costume. There are several guidelines that must be followed to ensure the safety and security of all students:
No masks or face coverings can be worn to school.
No realistic weapon accessories are allowed in the building (for example – guns, knives, swords, etc.)
Excessive make-up or face paint is prohibited. The school must be able to identify the students. (Keep in mind, students will be in costume all day and excessive make-up becomes itchy and irritating.)
Costumes that prohibit normal school routines are not allowed (Blow up costumes, stuffed costumes, anything that will not allow the students to sit in a seat and complete assigned work should not be worn).
Student Leadership is sponsoring a Costume Contest. In order to enter, the students are asked to bring in a non-perishable food item to their homeroom teacher by Monday, October 30th. The Costume Contest will be held during the start of the school day on Tuesday, October 31st. This year's Halloween festivities will be held indoors and will be for the students, faculty and staff. We will not be holding an outdoor event. Winners of the Costume Contest will receive an Enzo's Halloween Prize Pack.
