Today, Tuscan School announced it will hold its event as usual with a parade, but with a ban on masks that restrict vision, wearing costumes to school and declaring the use of costumes that "reflect violent themes, characters and weapon-like accessories are not allowed for our in school celebration."
A letter from Principal Malikah Majeed also notes, "the administration reserves the right to make the final decision on all attire." See the letter below:
Dear Tuscan Family,
Halloween in school is an opportunity for fun and
merriment. The traditional Tuscan School
Halloween Parade will be on Friday,
October 31 at 2:00 pm. The parade route provides an opportunity for our
Kindergarteners to comfortably view the parade from a “Kindergarten Grandstand”
on the blacktop.
Students are not to wear their costumes to school. Time will be provided for students to change into their costumes before the parade. Students are to bring costumes in a bag clearly marked with their name. We encourage costumes that can be put on in the classroom without requiring the use of bathroom facilities.
Ø Classroom
parties are scheduled by individual teachers. A
Halloween Party Pass from your child’s
classroom teacher will be required for entry into the building.
Ø Children wishing to go home to change
into their costume during Recess/Lunch,
MUST bring
a signed note from their parent/guardian.
Ø Students
with signed notes will be released to their designated pick up person through
the front door at their scheduled Recess/Lunch time, printed on the reverse.
We all recognize that violent themes are inappropriate for a
school celebration. Therefore, costumes
that reflect violent themes, characters
and weapon-like accessories are not allowed for our in
school celebration. Students will
not be allowed to wear masks that obstruct or restrict vision. Because no dress code can be all inclusive, the
administration reserves the right to make the final decision on all attire.
Thank you in advance for guiding your child in selecting a costume that is most
appropriate for school.
We
look forward to seeing you at the Halloween Parade!
(Ms.) Malikah Majeed
Principal
