Trunk or Treat (Oct. 31)
Halloween costumes
To ensure that all costumes follow our School’s Halloween costume guidelines, teachers will ask everyone what costume their child is planning to wear on October 31. Please be sure costumes meet all these guidelines below. They must be appropriate for a Catholic school and pre-approved, or a student may be sent home to change.
Please let your child’s teacher know what your child will be wearing before 10/31 so it’s pre-approved.
- Costumes should be child-friendly and not offensive to the Catholic faith and beliefs. No inflatables, no gory, bloody, or scary clowns, no devils, or scary/evil costumes. No Harry Potter or Pokémon costumes (please see Mrs. Grey’s email)
- Costumes Should Not:
- Be obstructive, offensive, inappropriate for a Catholic school (skimpy or revealing), gory, evil, violent
- Drag on the ground
- Contain sharp objects, pointed objects, or materials that may accidentally strike another person.
- Contain any weapons that resemble or could be mistaken for an actual weapon.
- Students should be able to sit down in their costume and not obstruct the view of someone sitting behind them in class
- Encourage cross-dressing. Boys dress up like boys, and girls dress up like girls
- Students should be able to breathe well in their costumes
- Students must bring their own Halloween buckets/bag for trunk or treat. All students and adults volunteering may dress in their favorite appropriate Halloween costume and must follow these guidelines. The events are for students only. Adults working at or volunteering on campus for Trunk or Treat may earn up to 4 hours for decorating their trunks and helping to pass out candy. More information for volunteers will be given to parents by Lorena Lakey, our Room Parent PLC lead and Trunk or Treat Lead.
