My school doesn't "do" Halloween

Published

And I just arrived and about 1/2 of the students showed up in costumes anyway. Letters were sent home a few weeks ago reminding parents to please not send them in costumes. Parents never read anything, and those that do think the rules do not apply to them. I personally have nothing against Halloween, but our school has a policy and I think people need to respect that. Of course, admin now has to decide if they are really going to call 200 families to bring in a change of clothes for these kids...

BWHAHAHH!! We were told YESTERDAY we could dress up (within dress code rules).

So here I sit in my Harry Potter onesie from Target, waiting to screen for hearing, vision, and scoliosis....

Don't ask don't tell...I wore chewbacca PJs from Walmart.

We have character dress up day. As long as it's not scary and within our school codes, they can wear whatever they want. So there was a lot of princesses and power rangers here today. I dressed up as a Harry Potter Hufflepuff student. :3

Our k-12 school not only does costumes, they also do trick or treating for the elementary. Always makes me a nervous mess because even though we say no nut candies, parents always buy whatever.
