HALLOWEEN
FOXBORO ELEMENTARY
COSTUME AND VOLUNTEER GUIDELINES
**Students are invited to join in our Halloween celebration on Friday, October 31. We will start the day at 9:15 a.m. with our Halloween Costume Parade, which will be held outside on our school track. Parents are welcome to come and enjoy the parade.
**If you are volunteering in our classrooms, you must have a background check. Feel free to call our office if you are unsure if you are in our database or to get information on how to receive one.
**For parents: Please use these guidelines when planning costumes with your children. These guidelines are meant to help our Halloween celebration be respectful, responsible, safe, kind, and understanding for all.
- Be respectful: Avoid stereotypes. Be racially sensitive and culturally appropriate. Students may not dress up as an ethnic or cultural group (i.e., a Mexican, a Geisha, a Native American, etc.). Culture is not a costume. Skin color must not be altered in any way.
- Be responsible: Recognize that students in a wide age range will see the costumes. Costumes should be family friendly. Costumes may not be gory or threatening.
- Be safe: No weapons, real or pretend are allowed (i.e., light sabers, swords, hooks, Wolverine claws). Masks may not be worn. Crowns or hats may be worn.
- Be kind: Costumes should be fun and exciting, not political or offensive.
- Be understanding: Students may dress up as fictional characters if they follow the above guidelines
