Halloween Costume Guidelines

Dear Parents/Guardians,

As Halloween nears, please take a moment to read the following guidelines. We would appreciate if you could go over these points with your child(ren).

These are general, district guidelines – please check with your child’s school if they have further recommendations or do not permit costumes.

SD62 Costume Guidelines for Secondary School Students:

• Face makeup is okay as long as it isn’t too scary (students must be identifiable).
• No costume masks are permitted. Students must continue to wear non-medical face masks.
• Friendly clowns, jesters, mimes, etc. are okay. No scary clowns please.
• No imitation weapons of any kind will be permitted.

Please use your best judgement to ensure costumes are appropriate for school wear.

For the safety of everyone, these guidelines are in place so that students can be easily identified. 

We do our best to create comfortable and safe environments in our schools and we thank you for helping us to do so.

Sincerely,

SD62 Communications Team
