Dear Middle School Families,

On Monday, October 31, our middle-schoolers will have a costume/dress-down day at school. Students may wear costumes to school or dress down. Students may wear jeans or sweats to dress down, and those jeans or sweats should be free of holes. Leggings are not allowed as dress-down clothing, and students should be dressed for colder weather. We encourage students to bring a change of clothes as backup. Students who are not dressed in an appropriate costume or dress-down attire will have to get clothes from the clothing exchange closet or have clothes brought to them from home to remain at school.

Below are more guidelines for all dress on that day:

• Costumes may not interfere with anyone’s learning (including the costume wearer) and are not to include any weapons, blood or gore.  

• Masks and excessive face paint are not to be worn in class or in the dining hall.

• Costumes should be respectful of all people and cultures, and no weapons of any kind are allowed.

It should be a fun day on Monday. Enjoy your weekend!

Shaka Arnold

Head of Middle School
