Student Halloween Costume Expectations
In an effort to enjoy and celebrate Halloween at EMS appropriately, respectfully, and in accordance with school rules, we ask that students use the following guidelines when selecting a costume:
1. Staff members must be able to identify students. Students are not allowed to wear masks/coverings that cover the entire face.
2. Costumes that are provocative, revealing, sexual in nature, or employ questionable props are not permitted.
3. Costumes that depict violence, alcohol, or drugs are not permitted. Fake weapons are not allowed.
4. Costumes that could be offensive or perpetuate a stereotype of someone’s culture, gender, heritage, or religion are not permitted.
5. Costumes should not hinder your ability to participate in your classes, including P.E. Costumes may not disrupt or impede traffic, or present issues of safety in the hallway.
Students wearing questionable costumes will be asked to change into normal school attire and issued school consequences. If you have any questions regarding the appropriateness of your costume idea, we encourage you to speak with Mr. Eberly
Good Professional Reading (or Watching)
