NORMAL PARK HALLOWEEN COSTUME GUIDELINES Students will be given the option to wear their Halloween costumes to school. The upper and lower schools will be permitted to wear costumes on Friday, October 30th. In an effort to enjoy Halloween at Normal Park appropriately, respectfully, and in accordance with school rules, we ask that students use the following guidelines when selecting a costume: 1. No head coverings. NO costume masks or face paint. Staff members must be able to identify students. However, face coverings to control virus spread will still be required for all students as has been the case since the start of school. 2. Costumes that depict violence as well as fake weapons are not allowed. 3. Costumes that could be offensive or perpetuate a stereotype of someone’s culture, gender, heritage, or religion are not permitted. 4. Costumes should not hinder students’ ability to participate in classes; including P.E. or hinder their ability to correctly follow our safety guidelines (i.e. distancing and wearing a facial covering) 5. Costumes may not disrupt or impede traffic, or present issues of safety in the hallway. 6. No accessories to the costume may be brought to school. Only the costume itself can be worn. 7. Costumes must meet dress code requirements as stated in the student handbook: · Skirts, shorts and dresses must be at least mid-thigh in length on all sides of the leg. Shorts must be the same length all around the leg. · Leggings may be worn with a garment that covers the backside and is equal length all the way around. Leggings should not have any see-through portions which are above mid-thigh length. · Shirts and dresses must have fabric covering the front chest area
