Taft Elementary Costume Guidelines

Students are welcome to wear costumes! Please follow these school guidelines to ensure a fun and safe day for everyone:

• Costumes should not disrupt the learning environment.

• No masks or anything that makes it difficult for staff to identify students.

• No weapons, replicas of weapons, weapon-like accessories, or sharp objects.

• Costumes must not demean any ethnic group, race, religion, nationality, disability, gender, or individual.

• Costumes may not depict gangs, terrorist organizations, horror characters, graphic violence, blood, gore, or anything scary in nature.

• Costumes must not display obscene material, prohibited substances, or offensive language.

• Avoid costumes that are too large, have flashing lights, or make sounds that disrupt class.

• Costumes should be tasteful — no underclothing, lingerie, swimsuits, or anything revealing.

• Costumes must not impair vision or movement, and students should still be able to dress out for P.E.

Thank you for helping us keep Halloween fun, safe, and school-appropriate! 🎃
