Halloween Costume Rules
With Halloween quickly approaching, and as your child is planning their costume, please consider certain factors in choosing which costume is best. We encourage students at CMS to dress up for Halloween, however, there are a few things that they need to know so we can have fun and keep the school safe at the same time. This information will be shared with students as Halloween gets closer:
1. HALLOWEEN ATTIRE MUST MEET SCHOOL DRESS CODE STIPULATIONS.
2. Please do not wear or bring masks to school. Make-up/face paint may not cover the entire face. (At least half the face must be showing.
3. If you choose to dress in a sports theme, no baseball bats, hockey sticks, golf clubs, etc. may be brought to school. Also, please do not wear cleats or spikes as they may damage the floors.
4. No weapons or look alike weapons of any kind. No spikes, chains, or ropes may be brought to school. To bring even a fake weapon to school – even on Halloween- can result in disciplinary consequences.
5. Make-up, hair dye, sunglasses, and hats are permitted, as long as they are not dangerous or disruptive. Exceptions: Sunglasses must be taken off in the classroom.
6. No clothing or props that depict drugs and/or alcohol.
7. Costumes should not prevent you from learning and fully participating in the day’s activities. Please use good judgment!
8. All makeup and accessories should be applied and put on at home.
9. Finally, building administration has the right to make any student change if their costume is deemed inappropriate for school or the learning process.
