HMS anticipates students wanting to dress up for Halloween, Tuesday, October 31st. Please be aware that Hinsdale Middle School does not specifically observe Halloween or encourage students to wear costumes, although they are allowed. If a student dresses in a costume they must follow the guidelines below:
No Props – Such as brooms, wands, knives, etc.
No Masks That Cover Your Entire Head / Face
No Fake Blood
No Aerosol Cans or Silly String
Normal Footwear
Limited Face Make-Up
School Appropriate Costume – Non-Offensive – No longer than Ankle Length
Hats – Only if it goes with the costume
Make-up and Hair Spray needs to be applied BEFORE arriving at school.
Candy and treats should not be brought to school or provided at school due to state and district food guidelines. Students will be referred to the office who have not followed the guidelines listed above, and run the risk of being asked to change. Costumes should not be a distraction to others at HMS.
