Halloween is just around the corner, and with the craziness of school starting you should consider planning early!
Halloween is such a fun time to dress up and express yourself through a costume. Those same ole costumes won’t do.. you need a unique Halloween costume for teachers!
What should teachers wear on Halloween?
Teachers should wear something that represents their personality and adds some fun to the day! This can easily be done while following the school dresscode!
If you don’t feel like putting on a ton of makeup and a big costume, that’s okay! There are tons of t-shirt options available to be festive and comfortable.
What are the rules for Halloween costumes at school?
The rules can vary from school to school, however there are some things that tend to stay the same nearly everywhere:
- Keep the costume PG
- Make sure your costume isn’t to scary
- Make sure that you can still perform your job duties
- Make sure your costume isn’t offensive
Following these general rules can ensure that your Halloween will be fun and not full of disruptions.
