Dear Carver Cougar Families and Scholars,

We are excited to celebrate Halloween (10/30/2026) on campus! To ensure a fun, safe, and school-appropriate environment, all scholars who choose to dress up must follow the guidelines below.

🚫 The following are NOT permitted:

Weapons or look-alike weapons of any kind (toy guns, knives, swords, etc.).

Masks or face coverings that conceal a scholar's identity.

Gore, fake blood, graphic injuries, or excessively frightening costumes.

Crocs, slippers, slides, or open-toed shoes.

Ripped jeans or clothing with excessive holes.

Crop tops, visible midriffs, low-cut tops, or excessively short skirts and shorts.

Costumes containing inappropriate language, images, or references to drugs, alcohol, or violence.

Inflatable costumes or oversized accessories that interfere with movement or classroom instruction.

Face paint or makeup that prevents staff from easily identifying scholars.

Costumes that mock or stereotype cultures, religions, or identities.

Scholars who arrive in attire that does not meet these expectations may be asked to change into appropriate clothing.

Thank you for helping us keep Halloween fun, safe, and respectful for all our Carver Cougars! 🐾
