Halloween Festivities
With Halloween on a Saturday, we’ll be celebrating it on the last in-person day of school tomorrow. We are excited to celebrate and want to review the activities and guidelines that will apply. Students should be aware of the guidelines, and we can’t wait to see their costumes!
Activities
- A school-wide, live trivia game during 2nd period. Your teachers have the link.
- An in-person and virtual costume contest. We’ll have a photo booth at lunch, and a vote via Google Form on Friday. The vote will come through your school email, and you can submit your costume pics here
Guidelines for Costumes
- Must follow current dress code (district policy AA419)
- Specifically:
- No weapons or imitation weapons permitted.
- Face coverings per current governor order required. Full face masks will not be allowed.
- Makeup must be done in moderation and not interfere with the wearing of a regularly-required face covering. Avoid fake gore.
- If you wear a hat with your costume, it must not get in the way of the learning of others or otherwise create a distraction.
- Be tasteful and not extreme or disruptive to the daily school routines
- If you’re not sure it’s allowed, it’s probably easiest to just not wear it. If you’re not sure, find an administration
Negative Test Results
If your student is quarantined going forward and wants to return after 7 days from the date of exposure, the following must apply:
- The exposure must have been when both students were wearing masks (noted in quarantine email)
- The student must have a negative COVID test administered on the 7th day or later from the last date of exposure
- The student must bring a printed copy of the results that includes ALL of the following:
- Student Name
- Date of Test Administration (on 7th day after last exposure or later)
- Notice of Negative Result
All negative results will be verified with the health department, but students will be allowed to return with the printout of results while we wait for verification. We are told that screenshots of results are no longer acceptable. More info on the new quarantine procedures can be found here.
