HALLOWEEN COSTUME GUIDANCE 

Dear MIT HS Community,

Students are welcome to wear a Halloween costume on Friday, October 31st. Costumes shall be safe and appropriate for the season. A call home to bring dress code attire will be made for any costume that is deemed unsafe or disruptive of the learning environment. Please be mindful of the following guidelines:

• No full-face mask or full-face paint.  We need to be able to visibly identify students even in costumes.

• Costumes should not hinder your ability to participate in classes, including PE or hinder your ability to move through the hallways in a safe manner (blow-up costumes). 

• Costumes that are provocative, revealing, sexual in nature, or employ questionable props are not permitted.

• Costumes that depict violence, alcohol, or drugs are not permitted.  Fake (or real) weapons are not allowed.

• Costumes that can be offensive or perpetuate a stereotype of someone’s culture, gender, heritage, or religion are not permitted.

Students not participating in costumes may do dress code or free dress day.
