Stuff You Need to Know
Good morning Spartans,
Halloween arrives tomorrow! The Deans’ Office wanted to remind each student of the appropriate ways to celebrate the day here at school. The goal, as always, is to provide a safe and non-disrupted learning environment for everyone in the building.
- Costumes are allowed, as long as they are appropriate and do not contain any of the following:
- Masks
- Excessive facial paint (so much paint staff can’t tell who you are)
- Any costumes that cover your entire body, head and face (for example an inflatable one)
- No weapons/look-a-like weapons of any kind.
Group costumes would be a great idea, and you may see some of your teachers wearing them 😊
- Candy is allowed at appropriate times - such as the lunchroom.
Here’s to a Happy Halloween!
[As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact your respective dean ([email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]) with any questions, concerns, and/or clarifications.]
Frightfully supportive,
The OLCHS Dean Squad!
P.S. Let’s continue to make those great choices in our haunting hallways so that we are all able to celebrate our playoff run tomorrow night with our thrillingly terrific Footballing Spartans!!
