The FUSD School Board passed an Inclusion and Protection Resolution at their 23 May 2017 meeting, which they would like you to read. It is also posted in the school office. You may download a copy of it here.
Halloween Stuff
For the record, here's the breakdown of our longstanding Halloween policies again:
If you are planning to incorporate Halloween into your teaching next week or the week after, please ensure that you recognize and honor each individual's position on this issue and their right to hold it.
You may not exclude from instruction any students who chooses not to recognize Halloween or who elects, for any reason, not to participate in Halloween-related activities at school.
Classroom-teachers who choose to allow students to wear costumes at school on Tuesday 31 October may do so provided costumes meet the following criteria. It is the classroom-teacher's responsibility to communicate the school's policies and expectations to students and their parents and to provide acceptable accommodations to all who choose to abstain:
- Costumes deemed unsafe for any reason will be required to removed. It is advisable that students wear school-appropriate attire beneath their costume. If students do not have a change of clothing, they will be required to stay in the office until parents arrive.
- No costume may be worn which would in any way impede the student from moving safely and quickly out of the building in the event of an alarm.
- Costumes must not obstruct vision or movement or in any way present a hazard to the student or other classmates.
- Masks covering any part of the face may not be worn.
- Fake knives, swords, or guns may not be used as a part of any costume. Such items will be confiscated and may result in disciplinary action including but not limited to suspension from school.
- Costumes must not be overly gruesome and overtly violent.
