Rules of the Runway
To keep the fun safe, professional, and accessible for everyone.
01
Lab & Gym Safety
No loose fabrics near science burners, no long gowns near stairs, and shoes must be safe for teaching.
02
School Decorum
Keep outfits appropriate. Even if your castaway outfit is theatrical, maintain high student-facing standards.
03
Opt-In Freely
Participation is highly encouraged, but never forced. Audience moral support is always welcome!
