• Students will wear regular clothes to school and bring their costumes to change into for the parade.
• Costumes must conform to the Paxson School Dress Code.
• Costumes may not be demeaning to any ethnic group, race, religion, nationality, disabilities, gender, or individual (staff or student) at the school.
• Costumes may not cause a disruption or distraction to the school program.
• No weapons, toy weapons, or props replicating weapons (sorry no light sabers either!) are to be brought to school.
• No costumes are allowed that would completely hide the identity of the student, i.e. Hazmat suit, gorilla suit, “Scream” character. Face paint shouldn’t cover more than 50% of the face (again we want to know who you are).
• No full face masks are permitted (they may not be worn OR carried)
• Students are expected to wear their typical face coverings/masks at all times when inside the school, even with costumes.
• Classroom celebrations will be craft & game oriented.

Each grade level team will communicate their plans and expectations with you.  The PTA will provide a bag of Pirate’s Booty for each student along with a few other snacks donated by your community. Please no candy or sugary treats at school.
