In addition:

• Please reference pages 18-19 in the student handbook

• No toy weapons or objects displaying violence
• No masks
• *No clown costumes

Articles of clothing advertising or advocating gangs, sex or vandalism, spray paint, graffiti, alcoholic beverages, violence, drugs or tobacco or using obscene, vulgar, suggestive language or any items that are generally considered in bad taste are not permitted.

If ANY outfit/costume is seen as inappropriate by the administration, student will be asked to change.

*No clown costumes allowed due to safety issues and anxiety concerns.
