Dance Procedure

REQUIREMENT FOR PARTICIPATION AT M.H.S DANCES
MILLIS HIGH SCHOOL DANCE CONTRACT
2007-2008 ACADEMIC YEAR

The following are rules that must be followed:

1. All students who come to the dance will remain at the dance for its duration. If a student leaves, under no circumstances will that student be readmitted. If a student wishes to retrieve something from his or her car, a chaperone at the dance will escort that student to the car and back to the dance.

2. The dance will begin at a specified time and will conclude at the time stated for that particular dance. No student will be admitted if you arrive 30 minutes after the dance is scheduled to begin.

3. Any student who is under the influence of drugs or alcohol at a dance will have the police notified, parents will be called and the student will leave the dance immediately accompanied by a police officer or a parent. Being under the influence of drugs or alcohol is against the law. Students and guests may be subject to search and or breathalyzer. In addition, school rules will apply and a student will either be suspended for a period of days or possibly face expulsion. The student handbook outlines these disciplinary actions. The student and parent will be contacted by phone on the next school day following the dance, by the school administrator.

4. Any student who wishes to bring a guest to the dance must sign the student up prior to the day or night of the dance when purchasing tickets. Only one guest is allowed for each Millis High School student. If the guest misbehaves at the dance, the punishment by the school can apply to the Millis student who is responsible for the guest at all times. No middle school students are allowed at any dance. No guests who have reached their twenty-first birthday will be allowed.

5. No tickets will be sold after lunch on the day of the dance. Tickets cannot be purchased in the main office or at the dance itself.

6. Any student caught smoking or in possession of tobacco or tobacco products on school grounds will be subject to the school committee policy. Any dance venue is considered school grounds.

7. Students must be present at school on the day of the dance in order to attend. Since the prom is held on a half-day, students are expected to be at school on time. Any student not present by 8:15 a.m. may be excluded from the prom.
