We are leaving this decision up to the parents. We ask that masks, swords, fake weapons, and props be left at home. If there is make-up to be applied, this will need to be done at home, not in the classrooms or in the washrooms. Please be aware that your child will be in a costume all day - if this is a very special or elaborate costume, you may wish to consider something more outside friendly as students will still be outside for play, and may get dirty, or your child can wear orange and black.
