Halloween marks the beginning of a very exciting time, the start of the holidays, though it is important to remember the proper ways to celebrate this spooky holiday.  Yes, costumes are a way to express yourself and shed a good laugh. However, they are prohibited in the school, and for valid reasons.

Mr. Moore and Mrs. Yusko are aware of the desire for students to show off their costumes to their friends, but the school is not the place.  Students wearing costumes in the classroom serves as a distraction to fellow students and teachers. It would be near impossible for students to wear a costume and there not be a scene that can cause distractions.

Secondly, it would not be fair to permit a handful of students to dress up and not everyone else.
Our principals know that the classroom is a place to learn.  If everyone dressed up, it would cause a commotion and end up as a wasted day.  There is plenty of time outside of school to celebrate Halloween with friends, and not suffer any consequences from wardrobe choices.

Sadly, we are all aware of the times we live in as high school students.  With the rise of school related shootings, costumes in school are not appropriate.  Many costumes involve props that could be insensitive to recent events. Despite not meaning any harm, it simply isn’t a good look.   Overall, these rules are in place for the good of the students. Although it may be frustrating, it’s in your best interest to comply.
