Posted Date: 10/12/26 (09:00 AM)
Dear Garvey Parents:
On Friday Oct 30, Garvey Intermediate students will be permitted to wear Halloween Costumes to school. We will be having a simple competition and students will be encouraged to enjoy their day. ASB will give out some prizes. Students who choose to wear a costume must come to school with it on. Costumes must be appropriate and follow school dress code. Accessories such as play (look-alike) weapons are NOT allowed and should not be brought to school. NO revealing costumes or ANY negative distractive attire will be allowed. We are inviting students to dress up and hope they will have some fun with their costumes. School will resume as usual with 7 classes. If costumes are inappropriate or a student cannot maintain their ability to follow class and school rules with their costumes on, parents will be called to bring them a change of clothes or to go home for the day. Keep it simple, appropriate and use good judgment in the type of costume you choose. You may contact the school if you have any further questions.
Students: As you plan your costume, please keep these guidelines in mind:
1. The costume should be appropriate for school.
2. The costume should be tasteful. Underclothing/lingerie is not appropriate as a costume
3. The costume should not hamper the student’s responsibility of carrying school supplies or being seated in class. Costumes that require carrying extra and/or unsafe items such as (skateboards, swords, guns, spears are not acceptable. ) No boys dressed as girls or vice versa.
4. Costumes should not reflect graphic violence or gang affiliation.
5. No face or pullover masks, no clowns. Also, no excessive facial makeup. Makeup should not be brought to school, including i.e., tubes of cream, hair color spray, blood, etc.
6. Hats as part of the costumes are permitted.
7. Footwear must be safe and supportive.
8. No sandals, Birkenstocks, etc. No silly string or toy-like accessories.
The success of these events, as always, will impact consideration of future activities on campus.
