*Regular school rules regarding the dress code must be followed (ie, clothing must be free of profanity and may not advocate the use of drugs, tobacco, alcohol, or gange affiliation.)

* Masks may only be worn during the parade.

* Costumes may not be violent or suggestive

* Costumes may not have props or accessories that could be used as weapons (ie, water pistols, fake knives, or swords.)

* Students must show respect for others by not choosing costumes that are insensitive and/or offensive to the diverse backgrounds represented by others at our school.
