Halloween Costumes

Students may wear a Halloween Costume to school on Friday.

A "school-appropriate costume" follows the school's dress code and is not disruptive, dangerous, or offensive. The most important rule is that all standard school dress code rules still apply.

No Weapons of Any Kind
Staff must be able to identify all students for safety
Avoid costumes that mock or stereotype any race, culture, religion, identity, or gender.
No References to Drugs, Alcohol, or Illegal Activities

Friendly Reminder: Student Drop-Off Locations

Dear AR Families,

As guests on the College of the Redwoods campus, maintaining smooth traffic flow is a long-standing request from CR and vital to everyone’s safety.

Please ensure you are only dropping off and picking up students in the following areas:

Designated loading zones: Pull completely to the curb
A marked parking space: Use the student parking lot if you need to stop

Important Reminders:

Never block traffic: Do not stop in driving lanes or throughways for a “quick” drop-off.
Respect Handicap Spaces: Please never pull into or block handicap parking spots or their adjacent loading areas unless you have the appropriate placard.

Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our shared campus safe and respectful.
