Dress Code ALWAYS in effect - including on October 31st
During the school year we have dress-up days for various reasons. Please note that dress code is always an expectation; shoes are required; and face masks are not allowed. As for Halloween, we have had students (and staff) dress up in the past. On Thursday, October 31st, Superhero Only Costume is Allowed. At secondary campuses we highly encourage superhero t-shirts because many costumes would not comply with dress code requirements. When working with your student to select a costume, please remember the dress code will still be in effect. Here are some guidelines:
- No mask or full-face paint. We need to be able to visibly identify students even in costumes.
- Costumes should not hinder your ability to participate in classes, including PE or hinder your ability to move through the hallways in a safe manner (blow-up costumes).
- Costumes that employ questionable props are not permitted.
- Costumes that depict violence, alcohol, or drugs are not permitted. Fake (or real) weapons are not allowed.
- Costumes that can be offensive or perpetuate a stereotype of someone’s culture, gender, heritage or religion are not permitted.
- Make it a campus theme: Book Character, Super Hero, etc.
And as always, the costumes or dressings up are optional. Students wearing questionable costumes will be asked to modify their costumes to make them appropriate for school. If you have any questions regarding the appropriateness of your costume idea, we encourage you to speak with a campus administrator. Thank you for taking the time to help your student understand these guidelines

Food Allergies - Don't Share Food
My Classmate Has a Food Allergy. What Can I Do to Help?
Did you know that 1 in 13 children in the United States has a food allergy? That’s about two students in every classroom. Because food allergies affect so many kids, it is good to learn how to be a friend to a classmate with food allergies.
Students, both with allergies and without, can follow these recommendations to help their friends and classmates feel supported and safe.
Know that food allergies are serious. It’s hard to believe that foods you eat every day can hurt others, but it’s true! If someone with a food allergy eats something they are allergic to, they can get very sick and sometimes have to go to the hospital. Don't share food with other students.
Learn about symptoms of food allergies. Many symptoms happen right away – hives, a rash, stomach pain, itchy mouth. Other symptoms can take longer to show up. Let an adult know if you see someone with a food allergy symptom.
Never share food with classmates. This keeps all students safe. For students with food allergies, sharing food can be very dangerous. So don’t offer friends anything from your lunch or snack. Why? Because it may have something in it that could make them very sick or hurt them.
Leave extra chip bags, snacks, candies, and food items at home to keep all students safe.
