Halloween Costumes

Students are invited to wear costumes to school on Friday Oct 30 provided that costumes are respectful, follow dress codes, and do not promote violence, sexism, racism, or appropriation of culture. 

Here are some guidelines to consider when selecting costumes that will be worn at school: 

• Students need to be identifiable and visible to ensure safety. Face paint is welcome; full face masks should be left at home.
• Costumes that are sexual in nature are not appropriate for a school setting. 
• Costumes that depict violence, drugs, or alcohol are not appropriate. Fake weapons should be left at home.
• Let’s choose fun and creative costumes that don’t imitate or stereotype races, cultures, genders, heritage, or religions. Costumes that may offend or reinforce harmful stereotypes are not allowed.
