Costumes are able to be worn for the day. All preparations for the costume must be completed prior to coming to school.

Please help us enjoy this day by following the guidelines for costumes:

1. Must be able to easily move in the classroom, and student must be able to participate in activities/specials, and sit at desk.
2. Use restroom without help getting costume on or off.
3. No masks, face paint, or hair coloring (Thank you for helping us keep the walls and desks clean. Student will be asked to wash face if they come to school with face paint.)
4. Costumes may NOT include props such as real, replica, or fake weapons of any kind.
5. Costumes should not include anything gory, violent, disrespectful or inappropriate. Nor should a costume promote anything illegal.
6. Please no inflatable costumes. These cause too much noise in the room.
7. No costume may be worn that is unsafe or may create safety hazards.

(If there are questions about your child's costume, please contact your child's teacher or Principal Amy Senethavilay. *Students who do not follow the guideline will be asked to change or a parent will be called to bring appropriate items.)

Congratulations to this group of students who received recognition for being a great example of what is means to be a PVE Pronghorn. These students were caught either modeling a school-wide expectation or showing ownership for their learning. Way to be #PronghornStrong!
