MS Halloween Costume Guidelines
Halloween Parties
Grade level Halloween parties will be on Wednesday, October 31, from 2:30-3:05 p.m. in the following locations and are planned by volunteer parents.
- Fifth Grade 5/6 Commons
- Sixth Grade 7/8 Commons
- Seventh Grade Dining Hall
- Eighth Grade Hicks
All costumes should be appropriate for school and follow the “spirit” of free dress day guidelines (no bare mid-sections or excessively short, or sheer costumes):
- Costumes should allow the girls to sit comfortably in class and attend to their academics without distraction.
- Real shoes need to be worn. No flip flops, platform shoes, or excessively high heels.
- Headgear must not block the wearer’s or anyone else’s vision in the classroom.
- Costumes must be safe to move around in. No long trailing items that would cause the wearer or someone near her to trip may be worn.
- Masks may not be worn; but limited face paint is allowed.
- In physical education, girls will be asked to put on socks and sneakers so they should bring those items to school.
