Halloween Costume Dress Day Guidelines
Spring Valley High School Students and Teachers:
This year, students and teachers will be allowed to wear Halloween costumes to school on October 31. Some of you may remember this being a yearly tradition some years ago. As always, it is our intention to maintain and uphold our standard of excellence as it relates to positive school spirit, as well as fun-filled experiences for our teachers and students. While students are not required to wear costumes on Halloween, those students who do wish to participate are reminded of the following guidelines:
Please understand that these guidelines are put in place to ensure the safety of all our students. If a student’s costume is found to be inappropriate, she/he will be asked to remove the costume and/or maybe sent home. Wearing a costume is considered a school privilege.
Students are allowed to wear their costumes during the course of the day, but the costume must not interfere with the student’s duties and responsibilities, both in and out of class. We look forward to seeing the creativity of our students when they arrive at school on October 31st. Let’s all make it an enjoyable day!
