On Monday, October 31, students are welcome to wear a Halloween costume to school. We would like to share the following dos and don’ts, which can help as students plan their costumes:
Do:
- Make sure your costume follows CSArts-SGV dress code and is school appropriate.
- Make sure that you are identifiable to staff as a CSArts-SGV student. If your costume includes a headpiece or mask that obscures your face, you must remove it upon entry and exit from school and whenever asked by a staff member.
Don’t:
- Bring toy guns or weapons to school. If your costume includes a replica or foam sword or staff, that is acceptable; however, please be aware that staff or administration may ask to see it and may stow it in their office if it is determined to be potentially dangerous.
-
Engage in cultural appropriation or wear a costume that makes fun of a specific religion, race, ethnicity, cultural group, or gender. True appreciation comes in the form of learning about other cultures, befriending different people, going to museums, researching, and listening to others’ stories. Dressing up for one day of the year is not an appropriate demonstration of appreciation. Please stick to make-believe costumes, such as superheroes, zombies, aliens, vampires, book characters, and all things imaginative or creative. If you would like to learn more about cultural appropriation, you can find a video resource from Teen Vogue here.

Past State of the Art accomplishments are always available to view at www.sgv.csarts.net/Accomplishments.
Please continue to submit your successes year-round through the form found at www.sgv.csarts.net/StateoftheArt. All accomplishments will be posted at the conclusion of the semester in which they were submitted. An email will also be sent out once accomplishments for the semester are available for viewing.
